Is Wilderness for me?
Yes—if you love adventure, the outdoors, and trying new and exciting things. You don’t need previous wilderness experience to participate. All that’s required is a willingness to try new things, a positive outlook, and good physical health.
Participating in Wilderness earns you an Outdoor Pursuits (PE 138) course credit, which will be placed on your fall class list.
Wilderness PASSPORT trips coincide with regular PASSPORT dates. As a Wilderness participant, you attend a modified on-campus PASSPORT program in addition to your outdoor experience.
What can I expect?
Every trip is a little different. You will have the opportunity to gain instruction and experience in a variety of things, including:
- Sea kayaking
- Rock climbing
- Rappelling
- Low-impact camping
- Backpacking
- Biking
- Extended reflection/solo time
