🚨HURRY! ONLY 4 SPOTS LEFT!🚨

The Terrapin Expeditions for New and Transfer Students (T.E.N.T.S.) program assists students as they transition to the college experience. This adventure is designed exclusively for new UMD students and is a great way for students to build relationships with one another before the semester begins.

Spend the days exploring the great outdoors together with your peers and take time in the evening to relax around the campfire and create space to discuss your college transition.

This session, August 6-9, is specifically for Honors and Scholars incoming students! Don't delay!

This program is designed to help incoming students to the university find connections and community, build confidence through the outdoors, and have space to share about their experience with the transition to college.

It is a 4-day, 3-night backpacking program that we are offering twice to all incoming students, from 8/13-8/16 and 8/20-8/23.
