Presented By: Department of Recreational Sports (Rec Sports)
First Ascent: Ann Arbor Multisport
First Ascent Trips are designed just for incoming UM freshmen!
Come experience some of the finest recreation southeastern Michigan has to offer, and get to know your new home with us! Spend a day paddling on the mighty Huron, exploring some great trails in the area on mountain bike, and climbing outdoors at the only natural cliff in Michigan's lower peninsula. The swift water and natural beauty of the Huron beckons visitors to continually return, and the hills and valleys of the Ann Arbor area provide tremendous opportunities for mountain biking enthusiasts and beginners alike. One may also be surprised to hear that there is outdoor rock climbing only an hour away from Ann Arbor in Grand Ledge, MI. The adrenaline is sure to start pumping on these cliffs overlooking the Grand River in the center of the mitten. We will spend a day with each one of these activities, with short hikes, a lake swim or a visit to the Matthaei Botanical Gardens, and s'mores taking up the rest of our time! Base camp will be set up at a campground near Ann Arbor. Come enjoy the sun and blue skies with us!
