2026 Explore! Offerings

Explore! is Washington College's signature orientation program. Experiences are designed around a special interest area and offer dynamic exploratory activities to help you acclimate to Washington College and connect with a small group of like-minded peers. Each experience is unique. Some groups stay on campus, some are based off-campus. Some groups do a mix of on and off campus adventures. Selections are designed to appeal to many different interests and accommodate individual needs (dietary, mobility, stamina...). Explore! begins on Thursday and runs until Saturday evening, giving students ample time to rest up for their first day of classes the following Monday.

Please fill out this form to select your top three choices for your Explore! experience. For a complete description of Explore! programs see our web page.
