A brief description of the program:
The University offers on Outdoor Education program, located at the Outdoor Education Center, a 20-acre wooded green space, located within walking distance of central campus, which challenges participants to reach beyond their perceived personal limits - physically, mentally and socially, fosters greater appreciation for our natural environment, and develops leadership abilities.
Many different outings are offered, all of which emphasize safety and Leave-No-Trace principles. The Expedition Program offers weekend trips across the state and region for activities such as hiking, backpacking, kayaking, and climbing. The Outdoor Leadership Series offers intensive workshops for those interested in becoming an expedition instructor. Wilderness Adventures for First Year Students offers backpacking expeditions to help give incoming students a positive personal and social transition into college.
