Join the Adventure WV Sophomore Outdoor Adventure Reorientation in Utah!
The SOAR program is available to rising sophomores (students who have just finished their first year of college). This program allows students to de-stress and reflect on their first year while participating in exciting adventure activities in a new place!
Students will work toward forming lasting friendships and a positive community among their group. Course activities and discussions will help students learn about themselves (including personal strengths and values), increase optimism, and develop leadership and healthy living skills. Students will also learn how to anticipate and prepare for challenges specific to the sophomore year. The trip and its aspects are detailed below.
