Outdoor Trips

SU Outdoor Adventure trips teach outdoor skills like setting up a tent, navigating with a compass, belaying your climbing partner up a rock wall, or knowing how to pack a backpack properly.

These important skills help develop confidence, decision-making, discipline, perseverance, and a healthy way to deal with stress benefiting you throughout your college experience and the rest of your life.
