For students ages 15 - 18, this camp is all about helping high school students build essential map literacy skills! We want to empower you to create, interpret, and evaluate maps, all while understanding how they can inform us and sometimes mislead us. At the Distorted Maps Camp, you'll get to learn the fun basics of map-making, including design, symbols, and the different types of maps out there. Plus, this camp is a wonderful way to connect, discover, and learn.
Bring your own snacks and water. We can't wait to see you there!

Dr. Carol F. Sawyer is a geomorphologist and an Associate Professor of Geography in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of South Alabama. She received her B.Sc. from Montana State University-Bozeman, M.Sc. from Southwest Texas State University, and her Ph.D. from Texas State University (formerly Southwest Texas State University).
Dr. Sawyer focuses on landscape-scale and micro-scale regions and how those places react and adjust to change, i.e. climate change, disturbances (animal, natural), and human-induced changes. She focuses specifically on mountain regions and their landforms, including mass wasting (debris flows and avalanches), and changes in the alpine treeline regions of the Western U.S. mountains.
Dr. Sawyer’s most recent research has been in the Olympic Mountains of Western Washington. She enjoys working with undergraduate students in the field or in the lab.
