After July 19th, refunds are not guaranteed and only granted at the discretion of the TREK directors and our ability to fill vacated spaces.

What is the Cost?

The cost of participating in TREK varies according to the type of trip you choose. Additional program costs reflect the demand for specializedgroup equipment. More expensive options are in no way proportional to the amount of fun and experiential value that all TREK programs offer! Fees include all food, lodging, transportation, group gear usage, watercraft rental (where applicable), instruction, a t-shirt, and administrative costs.

NOTE: For all TREK Programs

Due to the growing number of TREK participants, TREKKIES must provide all personal equipment. Upon confirmation of your registration, you'll receive a detailed supply list for your trip, which will include the "must have" items you'll need to be safe and comfortable during TREK. Please be aware that in some cases, students need to purchase additional equipment after receiving this list, incurring unanticipated expenses.

Students must have proper equipment when they arrive at TREK check-in. Missing items will have to be purchased from local retailer. Purchasing listed items at home will avoid additional expense and aggravation.

Weather in the Green Mountains and Adirondacks is very unpredictable at this time of year. Wet snow, hail, and rain are not uncommon in higher altitude wilderness environments. Remember: there is no such thing as bad weather, only unprepared travelers. Weather simply happens!

Is Financial Aid Available?

Yes! We have two types of aid available: identity-based scholarships and fee reductions. For more information on financial aid for TREK and costs, please check out our scholarship page.

Our ultimate goal is to work with ALL interested first-year and transfer students to make participation in TREK a reality!

TREKKIES who are awarded fee reductions or scholarships may request to borrow UVM Outing Club equipment, which includes backpacks, sleeping bags, and rain gear.
