Founded in 1800, Middlebury is one of the country’s top liberal arts colleges. It offers its approximately 2350 students a broad curriculum embracing the arts, humanities, literature, foreign languages, social sciences, and natural sciences.

Located in the Champlain Valley on the western side of central Vermont, the campus is situated in a remarkable setting with the Green Mountains rising to the east and Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks to the west.

This location is ideal for the co-curricular offerings of Middlebury Outdoor Programs (MOP). From recreational outings to wilderness orientations, PE-credit bearing courses to distant expeditions, MOP has a diverse array of outdoor educational opportunities.
