The adventure of college begins with Wilderness Quest

Although school may seem far off, it will arrive sooner than you expect. But the fun doesn’t have to end with the close of summer.

The Boise State Outdoor Center is gearing up for the annual Wilderness Quest Aug. 20-24. What is the Wilderness Quest you ask? For starters, it is a Quest for fun, excitement, and the experience of being a new student at Boise State. The Wilderness Quest is specially designed for new students.

If you feel up for some serious fun and thrills before you begin your first semester, then listen to this. The Wilderness Quest will take you on a journey into the wilds of Idaho.

First, you will begin your trek to the mountains by vehicle, then from the drop-off point you will begin a challenging backpack hike to a base camp. From there, Quest Leaders, who are students just like you, will train you for some great rock climbing. Hey, don’t look down!

After a few days of hiking, climbing, laughing, and getting to know your classmates, you’ll spend your last day cooling off rafting the whitewater of the Payette River.

The goal of this five-day quest is to have fun and begin friendships that could last a lifetime. You may be asking yourself, “Can I do something like this?” Of course you can. No experience is necessary. Sure, there may be some challenging moments, but when you see that you can overcome them, you’ll realize that college is gonna be a piece of cake.
