A brief description of the program:
Tufts has two such programs, the Tufts Mountain Club and Tufts Wilderness Orientation. The Tufts Mountain Club (TMC) organizes weekend and day long outdoor adventures. They maintain a lodge in New Hampshire that is available to Tufts students for weekend trips. Both students in TMC and non-TMC members can visit the lodge and partake in the outdoor activities. TMC also holds on-campus events promoting outdoor activities and conservation.
Tufts Wilderness Orientation (TWO) is a 5-day experience for incoming freshmen the week before school starts. Each year, over 200 freshmen come to Tufts in late August to embark on one of 25 student-led backpacking, canoeing, hybrid, and trail crew trips. Freshmen learn outdoors skills and Leave No Trace principles while easing their transition to Tufts.
