Orientation Adventure

Orientation Adventure (OA) is Pomona’s off-campus orientation program for incoming students. Our trips are a great opportunity for students to make their first friends at Pomona while enjoying several days of exciting activities. A variety of trips is available for students of all interests and ambitions. While the activities of each trip differ, all participants will have the opportunity to meet their classmates, learn about college life first-hand from student leaders, and discover Southern California's rich recreational landscape. Trips are led by Pomona students, with faculty and staff joining most trips.  All adventures are co-ed with male and female leaders on each trip, and the participant-to-leader ratio is approximately 5:1. OA leaders are enthusiastic, responsible and experienced students selected from a competitive applicant pool. All student leaders are certified in Adult CPR and Wilderness First Aid by the Wilderness Medical Associates.

Orientation Adventure Costs and Aid

• There is no separate fee to participate in OA. All costs are included in your tuition payment and/or financial aid package.

Orientation Adventure is coordinated by the Office of Student Affairs and operated out of the Pomona's Outdoor Education Center in conjunction with other Pomona offices. Our organizers are students and staff members skilled in wilderness travel and event management. Safety procedures and contingency plans have been developed for all trips. Many of our adventures utilize highly qualified guides and outfitters, and all destinations are protected by an extensive network of safety professionals.
