A brief description of the program:
Indiana University Outdoor Adventures is an outdoor recreation program that serves the Bloomington campus and surrounding community. Outdoor Adventures gives people the opportunity to rent or buy quality camping and hiking gear, organize custom experiences, take skills courses for college credit, or sign up for adventure trips. It utilizes Leave No Trace principles on all of its trips, as well trains its leaders in their use.
Not only does Indiana University Outdoor Adventure (IUOA) follow No Trace Principles, their staff contains a few Leave No Trace Master Educators and Trainers as well. Leave No Trace is an integral part of their program, which is one of the reasons IUOA offers a one-credit class through the school of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) twice a year which sometimes offers students the opportunity to become Leave No Trace Trainers, the first level of training within the Leave No Trace curriculum.
As part of First Year Experience, IUOS also designed an early immersion experience in campus and community sustainability for incoming students as an option for students who wish to have an intensive orientation experience prior to Welcome Week.
