If you are a hiker, this is the trip for you. This is a four-day, three-night outdoor learning experience partnering with the Appalachian Mountain Club and focusing on life at UNE. Students will hike from campsite to campsite in the historic White Mountains. While camping, students will engage with their peers and enjoy the time spent outdoors, sleeping in tents and cooking meals on small camp stoves. Students should be comfortable hiking 3-5 miles a day over moderate terrain with a backpack. Experience is recommended though not required.

This is an Challenging Program: 

Trips in this category are designed for students who want to experience outdoor adventures in remote settings. Students will reside in tents or semi permanent structures, eat meals prepared by the group and professional guides and enjoy all that our beautiful region has to offer. Bathroom facilities typically will be outhouse style accommodations.
