Crave no more--WOC will be offering not one but TWO backpacking trips in the Adirondacks over Reading Period, one to the less-visited Dix Range and another to the gorgeous Great Range. The trips will head out Saturday morning (10/6), returning by dinnertime on Monday (10/8). Cost will be around $15/person.

We will be canoeing 4-6 hours each day on rough water and possibly hiking up a local mountain on Sunday. The plan is to leave campus Saturday morning (10/6) and get back to campus Monday evening (10/8). Estimated cost is $30 per person, no previous canoeing experience necessary. E-mail sm8 to sign up.



Hope to see you on one of these trips!   Let’s hope for good weather – we could get a 5-day Reading Period if Mountain Day comes next week!
