As part of our environmental ethic and for safety and educational purposes, many of our courses are limited to 12 students and two instructors. In some cases, our class sizes are smaller because of public use regulations and permits for backcountry travel.
Whitewater courses for instance maintain an instructor to student ratio of one to four.
Our goal is to provide our students with the best quality experience while ensuring safety and minimum environmental impact. Nominal fees are charges to undergraduate students to help defray the costs of special services. Faculty, staff and graduate students may be charged slightly higher prices. Many non-credit programs are free. Binghamton Outdoor Pursuits provides wellness based courses and activities.
