Orientation Trips are a great way to explore the opportunities available to you at Michigan Tech and the surrounding areas. Outdoor Adventure Programs (OAP) are offering several opportunities to explore on guided trips throughout orientation week. You can choose kayaking trips down local rivers, hiking the local trails or just exploring the Keweenaw Peninsula.
