Our selection of outdoor adventures trips are made to fit any skill level or budget. All of our trips are beginner friendly and require no previous experience. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to be a major outdoor enthusiast to join our adventures. We want you to come along and try out an activity for the first time with us! We will provide the gear and guidance you need!

We are funded by YOUR student dollars! We are able to subsidize our trips because of the tuition you pay, so we want you to come take advantage of what we have to offer! We are not a club, so there is no commitment to join a trip. Sign-up for one trip, or all of our trips as your schedule and interest allows.
