Students register and begin moving into the dorms.
On Sunday the students attend program and curriculum orientation. Students will also go shopping in Bar Harbor, and, we mustn't forget, watch the July 4th fireworks. The final night, students will watch the sunset from the top of Cadillac Mountain. This trip will take students to the exciting and beautiful park in the north woods of Maine. Students and UB staff will begin the weekend with an introduction to the staff of Maine Bound, the outdoor adventure organization that will be leading much of the weekend's activities.
