This hybrid course is sponsored by Puget Sound Outdoors. The 5-day practical session is held on the UPS campus in Thompson Hall (Building F on the map). Fields and some wooded areas offer ample outdoor space within walking distance of classrooms for practice simulations. More complicated and interesting simulation sites are within a short drive at Point Defiance State Park and Owen Beach. The university does not provide transportation to off-campus simulation sites; be prepared to carpool.

Nearest Airport: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac)
Lodging: Several motel and AirBNB options are available off-campus in Tacoma. Camping on campus or in vehicles is not permitted unless the vehicle is a full RV with its own sanitary systems and locking doors.
Meals: The dining hall is open to UPS students; public students must pack and bring lunch and snacks.
Parking: Parking is free in lot P4 off Union Avenue.
