Washington, the highest point in the Northeast.

All trips are suitable for students with little or no previous outdoor experience, as well as those who have extensive outdoor experience. Every student has the opportunity to choose different levels of challenge for each activity. A positive attitude and open mind are the key ingredients to a great adventure. Students should be in good physical shape and ready to take on new challenges.  Trips include food, transportation and all gear (except personal clothing).
