Amache is located near the town of Granada, a small farming community of around 500 residents where members of the field school are well known and welcomed. Students will be housed in the Amache Research Center (ARC), a facility located in and owned by the Town of Granada. A former school facility, the building has air conditioning, separate rooms for male and female students, multiple bathrooms, a locking shower room, a large kitchen, and several public use rooms.

MEALS: All meals will be communal and food for lunch and breakfast is provided in a serve yourself system. Evening meals will be prepared by a cook who can accommodate specific food needs or allergies. Students will have opportunities to purchase their own snacks and additional necessities either in the local gas station or on trips to stores in nearby towns

ACADEMIC CREDIT UNITS & TRANSCRIPTS Credit Units: Attending students will be awarded 8 semester credit units (equivalent to 12 quarter credit units) through our academic partner, Connecticut College.
