Important Note . . .
Outdoor Program activities are for Idaho State University students. We extend a hearty and warm welcome to the local community to use our outdoor resource center and attend our evening programs and other local workshops and events, but not all activities are open to the public. We support and have many friends working in the Idaho Outfitters and Guides business, and it is our policy not to offer activities to the public which would be in competition with them.
About Our Trips . . .
Other than workshops which are regular classes (some are offered for credit) and Special Events, our trips are based on the common adventurer concept - meaning that all participants contribute in the cost, preparation and responsibilities of the trip. The responsibilities and expenses of the trip are shared among all members. No trip expenses go to pay anyone's salary. Any instruction or advice provided by any member of the group is given gratuitously in the spirit of cooperation. Since there are no guides, everyone on the trip has a lot more work to do: helping plan the trip, buying food, loading and unloading equipment, and cleaning up after it's over.
The great majority of overnight trips will have a pre-trip meeting. Much of the trip's planning takes place at this meeting, and in the spirit of common adventure you need to be there to help participate in the planning tasks. The success or failure of a common adventure trip rest not in the hands of the trip initiator, but rather in the hands of everyone that participates on the trip.
Members of common adventure groups do not hold one another or others liable for accidents. Please understand that when you participate in activities in the wild outdoors, you are risking your physical being. No one on the trip can assure your safety. Participate at your own risk.
Remember... Trips can be dangerous. No one can assure your safety. Participate at your own risk!
How to Use the Calendar . . .
The Outdoor Adventure Center Calendar provides you with information about our trips and events several months in advance. You can see the calendar in month, week, day, or list views. You can also choose to view all categories at once, or to view the Outdoor Adenture Center, CW HOG, or Special Events by themselves.
To see more information on the trip or event, click on its name. Information shown may include where it takes place, what time, who to contact for more information, the rating of the activity, costs, etc. If you are interested in a trip or event, and you would like to know more, call the Outdoor Adventure Center 282-3912.
ACTIVITY RATING SCALE:
To help you better choose one of our trips, we rate the trips on a
subjective scale of difficulty.

physical activity.
III

activity.
