Saint Michael’s College offers a Wilderness Orientation Weekend for incoming first-year and transfer students. It is designed to provide an opportunity to meet current students and classmates, learn about life at St. Mike’s, and explore our unique outdoor environment. The trips allow students to relax, have fun, meet new friends, and freely ask questions or talk about any concerns they may have regarding the college transition.
Each program is led by two Wilderness Program instructors. During the three-day trips students are exposed to a wide range of activities. There is no experience necessary to participate in any of the WOW programs. Our instructors will teach you the skills necessary to have an enjoyable experience and minimize environmental impact, while offering a perspective on the college’s social and academic opportunities. We encourage students to bring as much of their own gear as possible, however we do supply all group equipment. You will receive a complete packing list in your confirmation packet.
Cost
The cost for all trips is $215. (50% refund if cancelled before June 8)
