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 Particpate?
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. For all water related Trips and Clinics, you must be able to stay afloat. Enjoy the great outdoors and take advantage of the numerous opportunities!
The trips and activities are offered to students and the university. The majority of seminars and clinics 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 off-campus activities, all 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, trained trip leader and fun! Attendance at any pre-trip meeting is mandatory.
For rental equipment, you must be a U of A student, U of A Faculty/Staff or have a HPER membership. See the equipment page for more info.
