Outdoors

The Outdoors program provides opportunities for members of the University of Iowa and surrounding communities to introduce themselves to a variety of outdoor activities. Through a focus on adventure-based learning, the aim is to educate participants with the necessary technical skills, as well as the ethical guidance, to ensure these activities are carried out with a maximum level of concern for the participants and the environment. Outdoors encompasses several programs and facilities including:

• Outdoor Rental Center
• Climbing Wall in the CRWC
• Lifetime Leisure Skills classes (for academic credit)
• Wildlife Camps
• School of the Wild
• Iowa Raptor Project
• Adventure Trips
• UI Challenge Course
