All incoming Ross graduate students are encouraged to take part in this
exciting opportunity.
Treks are rated Laid Back, Moderate, or Strenuous.
-
Laid Back - Trek will consist of
mainly budget motel/lodge accommodations, limited travel within the
trip's region, activities run from a few "base camp" locations, and/or
many opportunities to experience the night life and local social scene.
All activities can easily be enjoyed by a person of average physical
fitness.
-
Moderate -
Characterized by moderate travel within the trip's region, activities
in numerous locations, a mix of active and strenuous days and a balance
between outdoor activity and night experiences. While a person in
moderate physical condition should be able to complete all activities
some days may be challenging.
-
Strenuous - Considerable travel
within the trek's country/region may occur and most nights will be
spent backcountry camping. Challenges may include elevation change and
duration of activities. Participants should be in good physical
condition.
