1. The trip provides a first-year experience.
   • Fosters a welcoming, inclusive environment in which a cohort of students can build life-long friendships and networks
   • Engages students new to the ������̳ community
   • Introduces students to life on campus through junior and senior mentors
2. The outdoors will be our classroom!
   • Focuses on the Adirondack Mountains
   • Exposes students to the outdoor environment through geology to gain an appreciation of how the Earth works – important in the environmental field

The cost of the trip is $100 per student.

• On the day of the trip, students will drop off their personal belongings in their dorm room on August 14. We will coordinate with Residential Life to set this up.
• Once you've dropped off your belongings, everyone will meet in Room 208 of the Perna Science building for a 12 p.m. departure.
• We will be traveling in mini-vans or transit vans leaving from the loading dock of Perna Science.
• Everyone will be overnight camping for the next six nights. No camping experience is needed! We will supply tents. You'll just need to bring a sleeping bag and pad.
• All meals will be cooked at camp.
• Our last night of camping will be at the ������̳ Biological Field Station. Check it out here: Biological Field Station
• We will return to campus on August 20, move-in day, so you can meet your roommate and unpack your belongings.
