Wintersession is a 2-week experience each January that brings together the entire campus community– students, faculty, and staff. Throughout Wintersession, Outdoor Action will be offering a variety of different trips, activities, and trainings. Registration for all events will be on the Wintersession page of My.Princeton.edu November 1 through November 19.
Leader Training Trips will be the second week of Wintersession (Sunday, January 16th through Saturday, January 22nd). You should plan to be available for pre-trip packing & preparations beginning at noon on Saturday, January 15th. Wintersession LTTs are aimed at individuals who have already begun OA Leader Training; registration will happen in mid-November directly with Outdoor Action (not through Wintersession).
All events marked ** are core components of the OA Leader Training Program.
