*The '17s arrive for Trips in just 168 days!* * * Be a part of welcoming the Class of 2017 to Dartmouth this fall! If you have a genuine interest in making the newest members of this community feel welcomed, supported, and included; if you are excited to introduce incoming students to some of the beautiful New Hampshire outdoors; if you think Trips has the potential to build a stronger, more cohesive community at Dartmouth, *we'd like to invite you to be a part of of DOC Trips 2013 as a trip leader or croo member! * Applications to be lead a trip and be on a croo are now available online<https://www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/firstyeartrips/leaders/applications/>...and are *due Tuesday March 26th* (second day of spring term). The trip leader application is completed entirely online while the croo application must be printed out and submitted to the DOC Trips office. You *don't** *need to be funny, in love with Dartmouth, quiet, have amazing dance moves (hi Gerben), or even have gone on a first-year trip yourself to be involved in welcoming the Class of 2017. The only requirement is an interest in creating a fun, thoughtful welcome for the newest members of this community. *https://www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/firstyeartrips/leaders/applications/*<https://www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/firstyeartrips/leaders/applications/> Some (*but not all!*) of the croos require soem specific skills, so if you have experience with any of the following, please consider applying: - *Lodj Croo Kitchen Witch/Wizard* -- Requires prior full-time experience working at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. - *Safety Dorks* -- All croos need students who have advanced medical certifications (OEC, EMT, W-EMT, WFR, etc...) - *Grant Croo* -- Requires some prior paddling experience. - *Climbing Croo* -- Requires some prior climbing experience. - *Oak Hill Croo* -- If you have an interest in or prior experience with mountain biking, this croo works with the mountain biking & ropes course trips. DOC Trips evolves & changes every year because of the volunteers who make it happen; if you have ideas or suggestions for the program, we want to hear them. Please stop by the Trips office in Robinson Hall 117 or send us an email <[log in to unmask]> if you have any questions or just want to chat!
