Outdoor Odyssey

So I’ve registered for the 8day backpacking trip for Cornell Outdoor Odyssey because i heard it’s fun and because I like nature. I would like to ask some questions to those who have been on Outdoor Odyssey trips.

  1. How physically challenging are the hikes? (I'm not very strong or athletic)
  2. Do you bring food/snacks?
  3. How was it to not shower for days :/
  4. Did you have enough time for move in day and orientation? Did you have time to shower?
  5. What recommendations would you give me (for packing, my move in stuff, etc)
