Hamilton College's Adirondack Adventure (AA) program, an eight-day outdoor program for incoming first-year and transfer students, got off to a great start on August 18. Sunny skies and enthusiastic Hamilton College students, faculty and alumni greeted nearly half of the class of 2007. Nearly 200 students signed up to participate in the annual program that takes place prior to regular freshman orientation. The program offers numerous trips, each of which is guided by a team of two or three highly trained student, staff, or faculty leaders. Each trip covers a different area of the Adirondacks, allowing students to participate in a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, and mountain biking. The program has been in place for 19 years and greatly contributes to students' community feeling at Hamilton.
