Start Your College Adventure with the First-Year Trip!
Welcome to OU! The Outdoor Adventure First-Year Trip is undoubtedly
one of the best ways to start your college experience. This summer's
trip to the Pecos Wilderness will welcome the class of 2012 into
the University of Oklahoma. Read what some participants have had
to say about the trip:
“I had never been camping or done much outdoors stuff,
but once we went out into the wilderness as a group of first-year students
who didn’t know each other, whatever worries or concerns I
had about backpacking for the first time quickly disappeared.”
“It was an awesome five days of learning about living
in nature, about my excellent classmates, and most of all, about
myself.”
“When we began the trip, we were all total strangers.
After spending 24/7 with these people, we couldn’t help but
bond. This made it so easy to begin school with a network of friends
already intact.”
“It was amazing and I’d recommend it to anyone.”
The First-Year Trip is a six days backpacking trip. You will be
part of a group of 8 to 10 first-year students with 3 OA guides who are
trained upperclassmen Sooners. Meet other members of your class
before New Sooner Orientation, learn about OU, and start your four
years at OU with some new friendships. No previous expeirence is
required. Many participants come having never spent a night in the
woods. Even if you have no hiking or camping experience, we have
a trip you will enjoy and a new group of friends to meet.
The program is open to all members of the Class of 2012. Every
crew is led by both male and female OA Leaders who are OU students
and will be able to teach you all the skills you need to live in
the outdoors. If you have special needs, please contact us directly
to talk about them.
