CCNY Outdoors Project Team
Interested in camping, hiking, kayaking, or simply gazing at the stars near a beautiful lake this summer? Please join The CCNY Outdoors Project for our Annual Outdoor Leadership and Team Building Retreat! This year, the retreat will take place from August 5th - 8th, and is an exclusive sleep-away experience at the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) Stephen & Betsy Corman Harriman Outdoor Center. As a part of an outdoors initiative, Dee Dee Mozeleski, Ashley Mastroddi, and Akasha Solis have specially crafted this summer retreat for students to once again join what is now an 8-year-old tradition. What started as a program for Colin Powell Fellows and alumni, has now extended to students of all levels and majors.
This retreat will be accompanied by AMC guides who are outdoor professionals trained in Wilderness Medicine, outdoor skills and natural history. Our guides will lead students through the woods, while providing a relationship-building environment that is safe for all. Students will engage in leadership and team-building activities led by our guides. You will have plenty of free time to hike, kayak, swim, hang at the beach, or relax at camp.
Lodging Details: We will be staying in cabins with shared bunk rooms (2 bunks per room). The restroom and showers are located a short walk away from the cabins. Rooms are assigned ahead of time, but everyone is welcome to switch roommates, etc. after check-in. Should you require any special room accommodations, please contact Ashley Mastroddi at amastroddi@ccny.cuny.edu .
