The common adventurer, due to varying degrees of ability of each participant, can best achieve this goal by becoming a part of a common group effort. In the spirit of this effort, all decisions are consensus group decisions and leaders emerge as situations arise. Thus, one can see that trip coordinator is a well-chosen title. The group leads. It is our belief that group effort results in a situation where the teaching and learning of new skills make the participant s goal more fulfilling and the adventure much safer than would otherwise be possible.
All trips are potentially hazardous since they take place in an uncontrolled, outdoor environment.
Registration forms for each activity must be submitted by the specified deadline. Some trips also require a pre-trip meeting and these will be indicated in the listing. Participants assume these risks when they agree to participate. All Outdoor Opportunities Program participants are required to secure health insurance coverage and strongly advised to visit their physician for a physical examination prior to registration or participation. I n addition to all the activities listed in this site, the Recreation and Leisure Studies Department is offering a series of Outdoor Recreation courses for academic credit.
