A brief description of the program:
Project WILD began as Duke’s first pre-orientation program in 1974 with the help of the Carolina Outward Bound School. Since then, the program has grown to include a spring break trip, a house course, a low ropes course, and a fall trip for Durham area high school students. Over the past 30 years, thousands of Duke Students have started their college experience with Project WILD, and through the low ropes course and Step into the WILD, the Durham community benefits from wilderness experiential education as well.
The Duke Outpost (http://recreation.duke.edu/recreation/outdoor-adventures/trips-and-clinics/the-outpost-gear-rentals/) loans camping gear and sports equipment to Duke students, faculty and staff. The Outpost also provides a gathering space for student group and individuals seeking outdoor recreation opportunities and has many resources about activities, parks, and sites in and around North Carolina.
