We are a student led non-profit organization that leads groups on outdoor hikes and adventures. We offer many different types of classes, ranging from the 10 Essentials for camping, to Leave No Trace ethics, to all the mountaineering skills needed to climb Mt Rainier. Our goals are:
• To enhance personal and group development by promoting compassion, understanding, and acceptance
• To rent outdo
or equipment for individual pursuits
• To train and educate participants in principles of leadership and facilitation.
• To provide conservation opportunities and encourage environmental stewardship
• To provide trained facilitators to enhance group cohesion and communication
• To promote positive life styles that include personal care, physical fitness, and mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being
• To offer experiential learning opportunities that integrate with academic pursuits
