University Equipment:

Each crew of three or four students will be issued certain equipment and tools. This equipment must be returned in good working order at the end of camp. Students will be charged for the cost of replacing lost or damaged equipment (this excludes normal wear and tear). An incomplete grade will be assigned if such payment becomes an issue.
