Does the institution have a wilderness or outdoors program that organizes hiking, backpacking, kayaking, or other outings for students and follows Leave No Trace principles?:
A brief description of the program:
The Outdoor Action (OA) Frosh Trip Program is Princeton's oldest and largest pre-orientation program for incoming freshmen. The OA Frosh Trip is a six-day outdoor trip held the week prior to Orientation Week. The trip follows Leave No Trace principles and has grown to include participation from over 60 percent of each incoming class. Each year over 100 new student leaders are trained in Leave No Trace Practices through our partnership with the national Leave No Trace Organization. Our leaders then provide instruction to over 800 students annually in Leave No Trace practices.
