Yes

A brief description of the program:

The Outdoor Adventures Program is the outdoor education and recreation component within the Department of Campus Recreation at UNCG. Outdoor Adventures is housed in the Student Recreation Center and has three main programs: the Adventure Trips and Clinics Program, the Rental Center (outdoor equipment rental), and "The Edge" (indoor climbing wall). These three program areas are designed to meet the outdoor needs of the UNCG community.

Leave No Trace principles are followed on all trips. LNT is taught to all participants - it is a cornerstone of the
program philosophy when traveling in wilderness and outdoor locations. Over the past several years Outdoor Adventures members have also conducted stream clean-up service projects on a two-mile stretch of Buffalo Creek just north of campus.
