Hours & Info
The Outdoor Leadership Center (OLC) promotes outdoor recreation by providing equipment and running programs to optimize enjoyment of the outdoors. Look for opportunities each semester and during school breaks.
Equipment Rentals
Free gear rentals for students, faculty, and staff. Find equipment for anything from a day hike to a wilderness trip, or from ice skates to lawn games.
Johnnie Bennie Bikes
Free bike share program. Bikes can be rented and returned on either campus.
Clinics & Events
Introductory ice skating? A relaxing sunset canoe on Lake Sag? Crafting your own trail mix, painting a camp mug, making paracord bracelets? Let’s build some outdoor skills and have some fun while we’re at it.
School Break Trips
PRP and OLC provide substance-free, outdoor-focused trips during fall, winter, and spring breaks for Bennies and Johnnies. Keep an eye out for flyers and social media posts to stay up to date on these trips! If you are interested in developing your own leadership skills, watch for job openings at the OLC and the chance to apply to join PRP, which are both avenues for students to develop their technical and interpersonal outdoor abilities.
