Trails Trips 2
Trails trips will continue to be offered throughout the spring semester for students on-campus and in the local D.C. area. Social distancing and COVID-19 measures are vital to ensure the safety of everyone on Trails trips. Wearing face coverings, keeping six-feet of distance, reducing the number of people travelling to 10 per group, and not sharing food or items is required for all Trails trips. New trails trips are posted every month!
