Through its Outdoor Experiences (OE) program, the Outdoor Center sponsors trips, clinics, and training. OE trips use human powered outdoor activities to connect students with their surrounding outdoor environment. Students experience empowerment, goal achievement, and group support by moving beyond their own expectations. Based on a challenge-by-choice philosophy, all activities are voluntary, empowering each person to perform to her or his potential, securely and without pressure. There is no prior experience necessary to participate in an OE trip.
