Students on mountain

Pre-Orientation Trips

What better way to start your SLU experience than exploring your new backyard, meeting new friends, and breathing in fresh Adirondack air?  

The St. Lawrence Outdoor Program offers incoming first year students and transfer students the opportunity to experience outdoor adventure in the surrounding Adirondack Park while connecting with their new SLU community before Fall Semester even begins.

Join us August 18-22, 2026! Trip request forms can be found on your Application Status Page.

We look forward to seeing participants and their families at 5PM on Tuesday, August 18th, in the Winston Room of the Student Center for the official Pre-Trips Welcome Session!
