All new students at Prescott College participate in the Wilderness Orientation program along with upper-level students, faculty, staff, and alumni who help to plan this three-week long Arizona back-country expedition. The daily challenges of group expeditionary travel help students develop qualities such as compassion, patience, generosity, and acceptance. Students completing this program, which helps to illustrate the Prescott motto of “”The Southwest is Our Classroom”", not only have a greater sense of responsibility for the earth, but a better understanding of themselves and how to be productive and positive members of a group.
