Outdoor Recreation

The purpose of the Outdoor Recreation program is to provide outdoor and environmental education/ opportunities for students, faculty and staff. The Outdoor Recreation program is committed to providing enjoyable, challenging, meaningful and educational experiences that will allow individuals and groups to learn the skills necessary for survival and safety in outdoor activities as well as develop an appreciation for the environment.
