Trust is an important variable for transitioning college students, who report a great amount of fear and uncertainty when beginning college (Bell & Williams, 2006). College students transitioning effectively need to trust both their peers and institutional representatives. Outdoor orientation programs are reported to build upon "trusting variables" such as social support among peers (Bell & Holmes, 2011) and trust of outdoor program leaders (Starbuck, 2012), yet few studies have measured trust among college students participating in an outdoor orientation program. This study examined students' reported levels of trust at 16 college outdoor orientation programs to provide a better understanding of the importance of trust in college transition.
