Some of you may have already experienced the many adventures that the outdoors  have to offer. Others of you may be waiting for the chance. Well here it is! Join us for rock climbing, hiking and whitewater rafting adventure! These trips are open to anyone whether you have had experience or not. Trips are guided by experienced, licensed guides and upper-class peer leaders. The trip includes rock-climbing instruction, a beautiful hike and a whitewater rafting trip, as well as an introduction to life at ΞΆΓάΘ¦. Hanging out under the stars around the campfire will provide the perfect setting for getting to know fellow incoming students and working on leadership skills.

bbraftingAlthough this program is open to beginners, it is for those who have a healthy sense of adventure, a respect for the outdoors and a desire to challenge themselves. We will be camping at Camp Fowler roughly a 20 minute walk to the main facilities at Camp Fowler in Speculator, New York. Come and play with us in the Adirondacks!
