Abstract
Wilderness orientation programs have been utilized by colleges and universities in the United States for nearly 75 years. This study, using means end theory, reveals the outcomes of a wilderness orientation program for incoming students. A retroactive study was conducted for all participants who had taken part in a wilderness orientation program from 2003 to 2006. Utilizing an online questionnaire, we found that a variety of positive outcomes were linked to program participation. These results reinforced that wilderness orientation programs effectively aid students' transition into the college environment. Based on the findings, we recommend that wilderness orientation programs be made available to incoming college and university students.
