Sections
First-Year Trips is divided into 10 sections, with staggered overlapping dates (section A leaders arrive Monday, section B leaders arrive Tuesday, etc.).
Each section is six days long for leaders:
- Day 0: Leaders arrive and head off to Gilman Island for the night for their skills refresher course (we’re calling this day zero to keep the other days consistent with the trippee description).
- Day 1: Incoming students arrive in Hanover and check-in in the afternoon. After check-in, everyone plays games to get to know each other, then each trip heads off to dinner separately to get to know each other. Trips spend the night in Hanover.
- Day 2: Trips head off on busses to their drop-off points and head off on their trips. Some trips stay in cabins, others camp out.
- Day 3: Trips spend a full day out in the wilderness and one more night out.
- Day 4: Trips head out to their pick-up point and get bussed to the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, Dartmouth’s home in the mountains. The whole section has dinner here, and spends the night.
- Day 5: Trips get bussed back to Hanover. Sections A, B, C, and D head back home for about week until orientation — other sections can move into their dorms after their trip.
