Join us for an afternoon of fun, connection, and celebration at Camp Environment - a summer camp-inspired gathering for students, staff, and faculty in the Faculty of Environment. 

This relaxed, open-air event is all about recharging as a community, celebrating where we're headed, and enjoying a little nostalgic camp-style joy along the way. 

We'll kick things off with a special address from the Dean. Then, the camp fun begins!
