Outdoor Adventure Trips

Trips are open to students and Recreational Sports members. Participants must be at least 18 years of age to participate in an adventure trip. Our intention is to provide powerful group building experiences that help participants develop new friendships, learn lifelong wilderness skills, develop leadership qualities, increase interpersonal skills and expand appreciation and concern for the environment.

Trained student or professional staff lead all weekend adventure trips. Prices for these activities include program-specific equipment, transportation, food, camping fees and required permits unless other arrangements are specified in the program description.

Trip Registration

Visit www.recregister.osu.edu. If you are a current Ohio State student or Rec Sports member log in using your name.# and associated password. If you are a non-student you will need to create a member log account in order to sign up for trips. Most trips are limited to current Ohio State students and Rec Sports members with a half semester membership or great.

Registration for trips is offered on a first-come, first-serve, basis during regular OAC business hours or online. When signing up for a trip, you must pay in full. Trip fees may be paid with Visa, MasterCard, personal checks, cash, BuckID and inter-departmental or student organization charges.  Each trip includes a mandatory pre-trip meeting. See the calendar and trip descriptions for information on specific trips.
