Benefits

The benefit of living in the Outdoor Adventure LLC is that students learn specific outdoor skills by taking a fall semester, two credit class together as a community. The class helps students gain skills, develop outdoor leadership, and learn to work together. Part of the course is an overnight camping trip designed to allow students to demonstrate the skills learned in class. The class is part lecture and part hands-on experience. Registration for the class is part of summer orientation and is required of all community members.

In addition to the class, members of the community have the opportunity to enjoy and share other outdoor experiences. Members also have the opportunity to serve as leaders in the community and assist in determining the activities for the floor. Living in the Outdoor Adventure LLC is a wonderful way to explore outdoor interests, learn about oneself, and develop outdoor skills.

Students interested in the outdoors but who are unable to complete the course requirement should consider joining the Outdoor Adventure Thematic Community.
