Trip participants vary by activity and location.
Most trips are a mix of undergraduate and graduate students with some staff and faculty.
Most trips are designed to introduce beginners to an activity. Most require participants to be in good physical condition. Trip leaders are students who have completed our Outdoor Adventure Leadership Program and acquired the necessary experience to guide the trips they have been assigned. For each trip, a mandatory pre-trip meeting provides important information to participants. Drug and alcohol policy Alcohol and controlled substances are not permitted on any trips sponsored by the VCU Outdoor Adventure Program.
