Welcome to College Outdoors!
College Outdoors provides the Lewis & Clark College community with
access to the spectacular outdoor environments of the Pacific Northwest
and beyond in a variety of activities including cross-country skiing, backpacking,
whitewater sports, sea kayaking, and hiking. The group also provides on-campus
events which include slide programs, films and seminars on outdoor topics.
College Outdoors trips go all over the Pacific Northwest. Participants
find themselves at the mountains, river, desert, the coast, and during
during extended breaks, on adventures into areas of Utah, Arizona,
California, and beyond. Everyone can participate,
from neophyte outdoors person to seasoned veteran. Trips promise friendly
people, clean and occasionally moist air, and fantastic scenery.
Our trips are open to Lewis & Clark undergraduates, graduate students, law students, faculty and staff. On most trips, College Outdoors personnel arrange for food packouts,
transportation, organization, group equipment, and personal equipment such
as wetsuits, rain gear and backpacks.
Involvement with College Outdoors is an excellent way to gain practical
experience in leadership roles. Students are welcome to get more involved
with College Outdoors. Volunteering is not only valuable to the program,
but continued volunteering can sometimes lead to a staff position.
Due to the litigious nature of society and the potential hazards of
the outdoors, all College Outdoors participants must sign a release of
liability form. For further information call or visit the College Outdoors
office in Templeton College Center, 503-768-7116.
Our office is open Monday through Thursday, 8 am until 6 pm. Please click here for our mission statement.
