Outdoor Education

Outdoor Education provides students with opportunities for leadership, wellness, personal growth, a sense of place, and community building through outdoor and experiential programs.

Students snowshoe on campus

Classes and Outings

We offer a wide range of physical education classes, and outings each season. In a physical education class with OE, you'll get off campus for a chance to disconnect, meet a dynamic group of adventurous people, and learn a new skill. Our Backyard Adventures trips are short, low-commitment, local outings.
