Get Ready To Get Outside

The outdoor recreation department offers a large variety of both on and off campus opportunities. For students interested and looking to get off campus and experience the outdoors for a day or two, look no further than the outdoor recreation trips.

Fall and Spring Break Trips

Get into the wild for the week.

A student carrying a large paddleboard walks barefoot on a dock under a bright blue sky, preparing for a water activity.

"A student wrapped in a red sleeping bag lies on a tarp-covered ground, bundled up with a headband and reflective blanket for warmth."

A student wearing a helmet and harness rappels down the center of a stairwell, practicing safety techniques in an indoor environment.

A smiling student wearing a helmet climbs a rock wall, reaching for the next handhold with determination and excitement.

Students paddle canoes along a serene river surrounded by tall reeds and rocky hills, with one student reviewing a map with a guide.
