Trips and Programs
Outdoor Program trips are geared toward the beginner and intermediate participant. Each of our trips is all inclusive. We provide equipment and instruction, as well as cover the cost of food and travel. Our trips are designed with you in mind. We focus on teaching skills that you want to learn, foster an enjoyable experience based on the expectations and discussions we have in our pre-trip meeting, and provide a supportive environment to facilitate the experience.
- Trips marked with an * will have pick-up and driop-off locations at the RUC campus in addition to main campus
- Trips vary in length. Spceific logistical details will be discussed in your pre-trip meeting. You should however, plan for a full day of adventure. Trip locations are subject to change.
- Trips leaving on Friday will leave as soon as possible. During the pre-trip meeting a departure time will be agreed upon by the group to accommodate all participants class schedules.
- Our trips are open to non-student guests as well as faculty and staff. Individuals who are not enrolled at Radford University as a student must pay the list price when registering for a trip. All open enrolment trip participants must be at least 18 years of age or 16 with parental/ guardian consent.
