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:
The Outing Club is dedicated to providing outdoor opportunities to all Washington University students regardless of financial means or past experience while promoting a strong stance of environmental and social responsibility. They aim to help students break out of the often city-centric college experience with trips of all varieties to local and distant outdoor attractions. In the past few years, they’ve ventured out for backpacking in Missouri’s beautiful Ozarks, climbing in stunning Illinois, Arkansas and Kentucky, spelunking in the endless caves that stretch though the state, rafting in Tennessee, cycling, canoeing, wandering, floating, camp-firing, picnicking, car-camping, trail-running, and star-gazing.
