Does the institution have a wilderness or outdoors program that organizes hiking, backpacking, kayaking, or other outings for students and follows Leave No Trace principles?:
A brief description of the program:
The Outdoor Adventure and Boating Program at UCI provides participants opportunities to get outdoors in a variety of classes, trips and paddles. It also includes a 35-foot indoor climbing wall contained within the Anteater Recreation Facility. Programs include backpacking, camping, rock climbing, snowshoeing, SCUBA, surfing, sailing, kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. All of these programs operate within the Leave No Trace principles of wilderness ethics. UCI also uses recreation trips as opportunities to teach participants about the Leave No Trace ethics since there is a strong likelihood that these people will continue to engage in outdoor activities after their college career is completed.
