Since 2003 some new students to Clark have started their college careers not in the classroom, but in the trees at Clark Trek. The program takes place one week prior to Clark's on-campus orientation for all new students and is held
this year in two locations; Bement Camp in Charlton, Mass., home of one of the largest high- and low-ropes courses in New England
AND Newry, Maine, an Outward Bound base camp. Clark students learn about
problem solving, taking intellectual risks, communication and team building
while on TREK. In addition, they will make friends that will last a
lifetime!
What REAL Clark students say about TREK!
I met so many people and had a blast. Definitely something I would recommend for others who come to Clark in the future.
Everyone was so cool and open!
It was an absolutely wonderful experience and a fantastic way to start the next four years of my life.

All the activities presented a challenge to ourselves and our team, forcing us to work together and push ourselves.
The zip line video doesn't lie!
Super!!
The zip line and high ropes course were something I had never done before.
I loved the ropes courses-they were great & helped pull our group together.
I liked how all of the days were action-packed.
I felt that I really had to challenge myself.
Just all around excellent.
Always felt accomplished & exhausted (in a good way)
The elements were fun and challenging. It was great to be with my group.
