Casper Mountain Science Program is based out of a lodge and the surrounding property on Casper Mountain. The lodge includes indoor teaching areas, a dining hall, a kitchen, and restrooms. The deck on the west side of the lodge provides a fabulous view of the campus, distant mountain ranges, and opportunities to birdwatch!

When students stay overnight at CMSP, they sleep in yurts. Each yurt has electricity, a wood-burning stove, and a skylight to provide ample natural light. 

Close to the lodge, there are several large forested areas. These shaded regions are mainly composed of coniferous trees, with a few stands of aspen mixed in. This environment is home to a variety of creatures, both large and small, and offers students an opportunity to learn about montane habitats and tree identification. 

The sagebrush habitat at CMSP features expansive high prairie areas with open terrain, making them more susceptible to the elements. The ground is often covered with exposed rock, providing an excellent opportunity for students to study geology. Additionally, these areas bloom with wildflowers when the snow melts. Students can enjoy spacious views and wide-open skies as they explore these sections of CMSP. 

CMSP is home to several streams, some fed by small springs and others by melting snowpack. Deciduous trees line the banks, providing drinking water for animals. These lush areas also have tall grasses that offer forage and shelter in summer and fall. However, be cautious in spring, as melting snow can cause the creeks to overflow their banks.
