Does the institution have a wilderness or outdoors program that organizes hiking, backpacking, kayaking, or other outings for students and follows Leave No Trace principles?:
A brief description of the program:
UCLA's Recreation Center has an Outdoor Adventures program, which plans trips for students, staff, and faculty. These trips provide wilderness education that is experiential and adventurous and promotes responsible stewardship of the environment and our natural resources. Groups also have the option of scheduling a specific group trip with Outdoor Adventures to tailor to their requests. Outdoor Adventures has planned custom group trips to many locations in California and out of state locations such as Hawaii.
Outdoor Adventures programs include group gear. Attendees provide personal gear (sleeping bag, backpack, boots, food, etc). OA rents sleeping bags, backpacks, and ground pads (as well as other useful outdoor gear) from the Rental Center in the John Wooden Center. Information on renting equipment is provided at the pre-trip meeting. Group travel and dinners are provided for some outings as indicated.
