H2O Leaders goofy

"The first river you paddle runs through you the rest of your life. 它会冒泡 in pools and eddies to remind you who you are."

林恩·诺埃尔

漂流

Join fellow first-year students for some Adirondack fun. This outdoor program offers  fun days of white water 漂流, canoeing, kayaking, S'upping, think H2O. 所有的河 equipment is provided. Please feel free to bring your guitar, fiddle or other musical instrument to play around the campfire at night.

You do not need previous 漂流 or kayaking experience, just a desire for adventure. The white water 漂流 is led by Licensed New York State guides.

 

"Deciding to do a pre-orientation was easily the best decision I made as a freshman. Starting college can be incredibly awkward and scary, but I have learned that there's nothing like a little wilderness bonding to bring people together and erase all nervous 感情! It's an experience you will never forget." —Matt Walsh '13 SCOOP peer leader and coordinator for H2O
