MOAT is a 3-day adventure-based orientation program. These student-led backpacking, canoeing, and rock climbing trips begin at 5:30 pm right after you complete your springboard orientation program.
Once you have completed the springboard program you will meet your leaders and other participants and spend the night at the University Recreation Center before heading out on your MOAT trip the next morning. The MOAT experience is designed to give you an opportunity to build social connections with other trip members and introduce you to the amazing local natural areas surrounding Harrisonburg.
All trips will involve primitive camping (no showers) and do not require any previous experience. The cost for the MOAT trip is $200.00 and includes instruction, leadership, equipment, and meals.
