Student Leadership and Outdoor Recreation

Find yourself in the great outdoors!

As a ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç student, you have access to quality outdoor adventures year-round. From ice climbing and kayaking to night hikes and backpacking, there is plenty to explore while you make new friends and take in the beauty of the Golden State.

Want to explore on your own? You can rent a wide selection of outdoor equipment — including wetsuits, kayaks, tents, sleeping bags, surfboards, and more — from our on-campus rental center. We are conveniently located in Nicholson Commons in the Activities and Recreation Center.
