Bivouac
The "Bivouac", a ten day camping trip at the school's property in Harrisville, New Hampshire, at the beginning of each freshmen year is a 56-year tradition. The freshman class is bussed up to the Bivouac location (the former Camp Marienfeld) near Mount Monadnock. Students cook over open fires, bathe in a lake, build latrines, and participate in nature hikes and ropes courses, while getting to know their classmates. The original Bivouac was at a site in Maine made available to B&N through a faculty member, Gibby Graves.

Famous quotes containing the word bivouac:
“After the brief bivouac of Sunday,
their eyes, in the forced march of Monday to Saturday,
hoist the white flag, flutter in the snow storm of paper,”
—Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
