Trips & Activities

The Outdoor Program offers a wide variety of services and activities to the University community. Cooperative trips are cost sharing. Participants supply their own food and own personal equipment through rental or purchase. Required pre-trip meetings are held to work out trip details. Listed fees are for transportation, group gear and instruction (if provided).

­Trip registration is available in the Outdoor Program Office beginning January 10, 2024.

Registration for trips is completed in person at the Outdoor Program office located in the Student Recreation Center (SRC). All sign-ups open on the first day of the semester and are first-come, first-served.
