Leadership Development Training
Outdoor Recreation can make your day, and even change your life, as it enhances the Campus Recreation community by organizing diverse adventure activities wile offering extensive leadership opportunities. Join us for fun and exciting adventures, learn and refine skills, and make new friends as you explore all that the outdoors has to offer!
Our Purpose
The purpose of the Outdoor Connection Center is to meet the outdoor educational, recreational and personal development needs of the students, faculty and staff of the University of Arkansas.
Who Can Participate?
Participants interested in trips or becoming more involved with the program should contact the Outdoor Center at (479) 575-CAMP. No previous experience is necessary for any of the outdoor recreational programs unless otherwise specified. Enjoy the great outdoors and take advantage of the numerous opportunities!
The trips and activities are offered to currently enrolled students and the university community (Faculty, Staff, and HPER members). The majority of seminars, clinics, and workshops are open to the general public; however, a higher fee may be assessed for non-university participants. There are two fee categories for University participants: Students & University (Faculty, Staff, and HPER Members). For all off-campus activities, participants must be at least 17 years of age and realize that the safety of the group takes precedent over the individual's perceived needs. Unless specified, registration costs includes transportation, necessary equipment, instruction, and trained trip leaders! Attendance at any pre-trip meeting is mandatory.
The bouldering wall is located in the Outdoor Connection Center and is free for currently enrolled students, HPER members and guests with a valid pass that are 15 years of age or older. The bouldering wall can only be utilized when the OCC is open. Shoes and chalk is provided to participants at no charge. See the bouldering wall page for more information.
The climbing wall is free for currently enrolled students, HPER members and guests with a valid pass. Participants must be at least 5 years of age and safely fit into the provided harnesses. (Ages 5-14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times). See the climbing wall page for more information.
