UNI Outdoors Adventure Trips offers a variety of trips ranging from single day outings, overnight weekend trips, and extended 10 day trips during Thanksgiving Break and Spring Break. Adventure Trips
can provide individuals with a truly unique experience that is awe-inspiring and reflective.

No experience is necessary to participate and we will take care of all equipment needed for the outing! UNI Outdoors Skill Clinics offers multiple educational workshops ranging from belay clinics to canoe clinics! Clinic offerings vary from semester to semester. UNI Outdoors Equipment Rental Program offers equipment rentals such as canoes, kayaks, tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and much more! UNI Outdoors manages and operates the UNI Climbing Wall. It is a 38.5 ft. vertical climbing wall and is one of the largest collegiate indoor climbing walls in the upper Midwest! Visitors at the climbing wall will have access to a variety of activities such as 11 top rope stations, two lead climbing walls, a small bouldering area, belay clinic offerings, and the ability to participate in annual climbing competitions! No climbing experience is necessary to climb at the climbing wall. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will help orient you at the climbing wall in a way that is inviting, safe, and fun! Additionally, if you do not have your own climbing equipment, we provide harnesses, climbing shoes, helmets, lead rope, and belay devices free of charge for all climbers.
