At the conclusion of each summer Franklin Pierce hosts first-year students for a multi-day backcountry adventure in the Monadnock Region and beyond. Incoming students can choose to go backpacking or kayaking. No experience is necessary to join, but participants should be ready for a physically demanding outing.
This trip is about having fun, getting to know your fellow student, challenging yourself and coming away with a positive experience. Participants get a great jumpstart on establishing peer groups and meeting new friends. The four days in the backcountry will be spent teaching new skills and familiarizing students to the local environment.
Doug Carty, Director of Raven Recreation, describes the POWA student experience, the program, and why it is an trip that you don't want to miss out on.

Doug Carty, DirectorThe backcountry experience is just the catalyst to get people connected. That's what it's all about...you're going to meet your future best friend on this trip."
