Wilderness Adventure

Meet new friends, discover 51��, and explore the outdoors. Wilderness Adventure is a great way to kick-start your 51�� experience!

51�� Wilderness Adventure

Each August, around 25% of incoming students participate in Wilderness Adventure to make friends, learn about 51��, and have an absolute blast! Living and traveling with a small group of new students and two or three highly trained leaders, you will hike, paddle, climb, or bike through stunning New York wilderness.

No previous wilderness experience is needed for any of our trips, just a willingness to have fun, learn, and meet new people.
