Get ready to stretch beyond your comfort zone. You and other incoming Ball State students can embark on one of three outdoor adventure trips sponsored by the Office of Recreation Services. Students will have the opportunity to hike along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which highlights Max Patch mountain and the trail town of Hot Springs, North Carolina.
During your outdoor adventure trips, you will meet and connect with other new students, learn more about your upcoming college experience, and enjoy some exciting outdoor recreational activities.
