"Leave the cell phones behind and welcome to your next adventure!" shouts one of the 19 student-leaders for this year’s Freshmen Wilderness Experience Program at the University of Montana.

On Aug. 19 UM welcomed its third and largest class of freshmen for FWE. Ninety-four students arrived to prepare for a four-day wilderness adventure as part of UM’s orientation program. The experience is open to all incoming freshmen at UM, and most participants have never camped before or been on a multiday wilderness trip.

Sponsored by the Wilderness Institute and the UM Outdoor Program, the program allows 10 groups of freshmen, each led by two trained student guides, to spend four days and three nights in various wilderness areas around the state, completing service projects and performing group- and community-oriented tasks.
