CSB and SJU Adventure Programs

Saint John's Outdoor University hosts student-led events throughout the year. These programs focus on leadership development and outdoor recreation, building outdoor skills and character at the same time. Although several events are exclusive to the CSB/SJU student community, many of the programs can be utilized by the community, including team-building, events, and wilderness training programs.
