The Outdoor Program provides a gateway for students to enjoy the great outdoors, while also emphasizing skill acquisition, safety, positive group dynamics, environmental awareness, and fun. Along with these personal trips we offer gear rental and informative clinics, which teach students specific outdoor recreational skills. Learn to rock and ice climb, kayak, or take a trip to use your new scuba skills.
