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.
