This year, Center members Sam Campbell (Space Grant Intern), Imène Kerraouch (Postdoctoral Research Scholar) and Eric Orson (Undergraduate Student) had incoming SESE students join them for hands-on meteorite experiences and discussions, showcasing BCMS' collection of travelling touchable meteorites (aka the meteorite petting zoo).
Students participate in this 3-day, 2-night excursion to ASU’s unique facility at Tonto Creek Camp, Friday-Sunday lunch the weekend after Labor Day. At 5600’ in the Ponderosa Pines near Payson, AZ (1.5 hours from ASU’s Tempe campus) Tonto Creek Camp offers a welcome escape from the summer heat in a beautiful wilderness area.
