The Outdoor Adventure Center collaborates with departments across campus to offer domestic and international excursions for academic credit. These courses and trips offer hands-on learning and a perfect opportunity to apply education learned in the classroom to an outdoor setting.
Previous excursions have included a natural history excursion to the Grand Canyon, a botany biking trip to Capitol Reef, and a geology and biology study abroad in Sicily, Italy.
If you would like to team up with the Outdoor Adventure Center to schedule an excursion for your program, contact us at 801-863-7052 or email Kim Reynolds at [email protected].
Nepal trip through Study Abroad- May 2024
The Outdoor Adventure Center offers International Service and Educational Excursions providing students an opportunity to engage in Experiential Education. We work in conjunction with the UVU Center for Social Impact department and various departments on campus.
Join us for a Study Abroad, Geology and Biology, experience to Sicily, Italy, June 4th-19th. The main goal of the program is to promote an in-depth understanding of volcanoes through a combination of short lectures and practical field activities. The field activities will be conducted in Italy, more specifically in Sicily (on Mt. Etna) and in the Aeolian Islands. These small islands, located ~20 mi N of Sicily are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are known worldwide for their unique natural heritage. Mt. Etna and the Aeolian Islands certainly represent one of the world’s best locations to study active volcanic processes. To register visit uvu.edu/educationabroad.
These excursions provide student leader development, participant development, and a community impact.
Rental and retail shop attendees, climbing wall operators, Adventure Trip Leaders, and other general service operations all help the OAC connect students and community members to the outdoors. View our current job openings and join our team.
