Overnight trips
There are eight very exciting Navigating Rensselaer & Beyond overnight trips offered this year for students attending sessions 1-4 (Block A) and two for students attending session 5 (Block B), each lasting three days and two nights in length. Please see the links to the right for detailed descriptions of each trip. If interested, fill out the overnight registration form and return it to the Office of the First-Year Experience no later than July 3.
Participants will be assigned to the overnights on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a $175 fee for each trip, which must be paid in full to reserve your place. The program fee includes round-trip transportation from the Rensselaer campus to all aspects of your adventure, room and board for the duration of the program, and any associated program costs. Unless specifically stated, no additional equipment is required. Overnight trip assignments will be e-mailed to participant’s RPI e-mail address as they come in, but no later than August 3. Refunds for the overnight trips will be available until July 31.
