Embarking on your next great adventure

For more than a decade, Outdoor Adventures has been taking members of the Missouri State community on wilderness adventure trips aimed at providing opportunities to meet others, work with a group, learn new skills, enjoy nature and have fun! Outdoor Adventures employs student leaders who guide, instruct and facilitate these group activities.

The trips sponsored throughout any year vary in their duration: some are day trips, while others are longer and are usually scheduled during University breaks.

Trip details

Unless otherwise noted, only current MSU students, faculty, and staff can participate in Outdoor Adventures programs. All participants are expected to adhere to Student Code of Conduct while attending OA programs.

Most trips have a registration fee to cover transportation, guides, equipment and other costs. This fee must be paid by 5 p.m. the day of the registration deadline.

Your attendance is also expected at a pre-trip meeting typically held the Friday afternoon before the trip.
