Fall 2025 marks 50 years of COOT (Colby Outdoor Orientation Trips). To celebrate this milestone, we are inviting alumni to an overnight COOT trip on The Island Campus. 

Here is your opportunity to relive some of the best parts of COOT as you explore The Island Campus, spend a night camping under the Maine sky, connect with alumni across generations, and maybe even play a few traditional COOT games!

All meals will be provided for the weekend, including a lobster bake on Saturday night. Gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options will be available at all meals; please indicate your preferences below to help us plan accordingly.

Note that no camping gear will be provided for this trip; you are required to bring any necessary gear with you.
