SMU Outdoor Adventures offers classic outdoor recreation programming comprised of recreation trips and outdoor skills workshops.

Many of the trips will be day, weekend or multi-day in length and designed to explore the outdoor recreation opportunities in the area and beyond. Activities will range from entry-level to advanced and span various interests including: backpacking, hiking, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, camping, and more.
