Journey (Pre-Semester Program)

Journey 2023

Description

Beginning in 1999, Journey has served as a Pre-Semester Program designed to assimilate incoming freshmen resident students to college while introducing them to the abundant outdoor recreational opportunities in the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas. Participants will meet other freshmen to begin making new friends right away while also meeting upperclass mentors who work in Outdoor Adventures.

Excursions are led by Outdoor Adventures student guides who are certified in CPR, Wilderness First Aid, River Safety and Rescue, and top-rope belaying through River Rock Climbing Gym. The ropes course at Virginia Tech will be facilitated by trained staff. 

2026

The dates are August 16 -21, 2026. Details coming soon.
