First year trips is Dartmouth's student-led pre-orientation program that introduces incoming students to the college's amazing community. The DOC offers tons of options to suit anyone's preferences; I did the Museum Exploration Trip.
When I was trying to decide what to do with the eight week break I had from Dartmouth this winter, the first thing that came to my mind was to take a trip!
We climbed Rumney Rocks in Rattlesnake Mountain, and the trip, food, and gear were all free.
The lodge is infamous in Dartmouth lore; it is where trippees spend their last night of trips and trips crews spend weeks of their summer. But it is open to anyone and everyone to go at any time!
This was actually my first trip with the DOC, besides First-Year Trips and other events such as their semi-formal at a roller rink.
The second I saw that email I had made up my mind that I was going up that mountain.
