WELCOME! We are already looking forward to some September fun. For now, we hope you enjoy exploring this website!

“My freshman trip did more to shape my Dartmouth experience than any other event.” —Sara Carpenter ’03

“DOC Trips is one of those life altering experiences. It’s exciting and wonderful and new” —Jon Kling ’04

“I can guarantee you will meet amazing, interesting people that will be important to you for the rest of your time at Dartmouth. I can guarantee you will return from your trip 100 times more excited about Dartmouth than you already were. And I can guarantee that you won’t fully understand the amazingness of DOC trips until you go on one and experience it for yourself” —Sara Schnitzer ’05

“On Trips I learned what it means to be green in a big way. The fear and anticipation I felt at first only made the final product even better.” —Beth Rabbit ’05

“Trips”, as we call it, is a totally fun five-day outdoor pre-orientation program designed to welcome you to Dartmouth in style! Trips is a unique and incredible opportunity for you to bond with other incoming students, spend a few days in the beautiful area surrounding your new home, and meet upperclass leaders who can answer all your questions. Trips will smooth your transition to college by immediately connecting you to a whole host of new friends, and helping you find your place and your passion here. Take your time and really explore this website: it has all kinds of good information on what your trip will be like and how you can prepare for it!
