Recreation & Outdoor Adventure

The Office of Recreation & Outdoor Adventure is a division of Student Services, located at the west entrance to White Hall. It provides resources and knowledge to the BVU community to support their engagement in outdoor recreational activities. It is the goal of this organization to facilitate learning, self discovery, leadership, teamwork, fun, health, skill development, and to overall assist and further the goals and purpose put forth in the BVU Mission Statement.

We assist our campus community in three distinct ways. First, we provide equipment free of charge for anyone to checkout and use. This includes rackets, sports balls, camping equipment, water sports equipment, and winter activity equipment. For a complete list of equipment available, you can check our inventory online.

Secondly, we offer educational workshops on a variety of outdoor topics. Topics include a myriad of sports, from kayaking and cross-country skiing to navigating the backcountry and survival techniques. These workshops are typically two hours long and help develop skill sets.

Finally, we offer trips to local and distant wilderness areas. These trips vary in duration, but typically are one to two days in length. They are also usually local, but longer trips tend to go to much more distant and exotic locales. These trips facilitate a deeper engagement and exploration of these different activities, yourself, and the outdoors.
