What are you most looking forward to this summer?

I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with returning instructors and meeting new ones at orientation, as well as getting to know a new group of students. I’m especially excited for the chance to build strong group dynamics and share meaningful experiences in incredible places. Overall, I can’t wait for the mix of adventure, connection, and growth that comes with summers at AT!
