Expedition Wachusett Description:
The Expedition runs from 9AM to 3PM at Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, MA. Upon arriving at Wachusett, all participants will receive a pre-event briefing that includes a safety talk, an overview of the Expedition and instruction on map-reading, compass and GPS navigation, hiking and backcountry etiquette

Teams will then meet with their Team Leader to review rules and equipment, and to strategize. Team Leaders will facilitate a team-building exercise to reinforce lessons learned during the overall briefing. At 10:30AM, teams will assemble for a mass start!

Participants should expect to hike between 3-6 miles up, down and around the summit of Wachusett Mountain. Teams will encounter along the way various challenges, both physical and mental, that will require teamwork, problem-solving and strong communication. First team to the Summit wins the Expedition! Winning team members receive a custom UA T-shirt.

After all teams reach the summit, individual teams gather to debrief on their experience. Debriefing is a critical part of the adventure learning experience. Finally, the entire group will reconvene for awards, and to share highlights and a few laughs. All participants receive a mini-compass, UA water bottle and UA bandana/buff.
