SCOOP Adventure Challenge

rafting

Come join us for a Pre-Orientation that will get you outside doing ropes course challenges at Adirondack Extreme, White Water Rafting on the Hudson River and chilling by the lake.

You will be staying at Skye Farm Camp in a bunk house with beds (linens not provided; bring a sleeping bag and pillow). This will be a trip that will help facilitate new friendships, so enjoy every minute of it. The days are packed with adventure, while the nights are for relaxing around the campfires asking your peer leaders any questions you have about Skidmore/College and  eating smores!

Please don't forget your required forms to attend SCOOP, found here on the SCOOP Homepage.
