WOW!!! What better way to celebrate the end of the week than a little swim in some beautiful refreshing local water? Lucky for you, Water of the Week is here. Join the water-loving Brianna and Innes on an excursion to the Cascades trail where we’ll hike, swim and hang for a bit before heading back to campus.   Meet behind Resky at 4:30 with something to swim in and a towel getting back no later than 6:15! ! Sign up on this form to be WOWed!!! Email [log in to unmask] with any questions :))

We will be serving a splendid vegetarian meal as well as a delicious dessert.

Coffee Date

What’s better on a Sunday morning than a nice walk and a cup of coffee? Join us as we head to Birch Hill, walk along some lovely trails, and enjoy a cup of coffee (camping style) when we reach a nice view. Expect to walk 2-3 miles on mostly grass trails, with very gentle elevation gain. Wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty (it might be muddy!) and meet behind Paresky at 10 am.
