OUR GOAL
Our goal is to lead at least one trip per month during the fall and spring semesters. Outdoor program trips are run through Campus Recreation and are fun, safe opportunities for students with any level of experience to explore Georgia and the southeast, meet other students, and gain outdoor skills.
OUR TRIPS
Our trips are led by professional staff who have many years of experience leading trips and advanced wildeness medical training. Trips may be one day, a weekend, or longer during school breaks to anywhere within driving distance of Valdosta. We'll do just about any non-motorized, environmentally friendly outdoor activity, so let us know if there's something you want to do!
There is a charge for all trips. This charge covers transportation costs from the Outdoor Rental Center and equipment rentals. You are responsible for your own food (except on extended sea kayaking trips).
GETTING INVOLVED
All Outdoor Program trips are open to students, faculty, and staff, as well as guests at an additional charge. Trips are sometimes limited to a certain number of participants, so sign up early! Trip signup closes the Tuesday before each trip and there is mandatory meeting on Tuesday evening to answer questions and go over trip details.
REGISTRATION
Participants must register for trips in the Campus Recreation office
during working hours which are Monday-Thursday 8:00 a.m. - 5:30
p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Trips are open on a first-come,
first-served basis and are usually limited to a certain number of
participants. The minimum number will vary depending upon the trip;
however, five or six are usually required for a trip to go. Sign
up early to make sure your space is reserved!
ETHICS
Although our outdoor experiences are recreational, each one can
become a learning experience for beginners as well as for experienced
persons. While enjoying ourselves and learning about the outdoors,
we should always strive to minimize our impact on the environment
as much as possible. After all, we are the visitors.
