About Outdoor Programs

ru-outdoors-kayaking

Our mission is to provide outdoor adventures, promote healthy self-discovery, and unlock student leadership potential.  We accomplish this by providing challenging and fun outdoor experiences which enhance one's personal growth and skills while emphasizing a respect and awareness of our natural resources. 

Through the use of a "Full Value Contract", we place an emphasis on fulfilling the personal goals of the participants and creating an environment in which participants feel free to express themselves by establishing expectations for the group as a whole. Participants are encouraged to challenge themselves to a level that they feel comfortable with; this is meant to encourage personal growth while providing emotional support through "Challenge by Choice" environment.
