Wilderness Trips

Friendships. Adventure. Challenge. Course Credit

Every summer, incoming students may choose to begin their Calvin education by participating in a Wilderness Trip. Students share this intensive experience with a small group of other new students, and together explore their own limits, forge new friendships, and develop a new awareness of their Creator.

Wilderness Trips can be enjoyed by students of all experience, fitness, and ability levels. Caring and well-trained leaders help students navigate new outdoor and college life experiences and assist students in setting goals for their first year at Calvin. All students will enjoy the emotional, physical, and spiritual rewards of successfully completing a vigorous adventure. And, they receive one course credit!

For information on Wilderness Trips, please contact jessica.stehouwer@calvin.edu.
