Outings

Outings are led by qualified student trip leaders ranging in duration from a half day to multi-day excursions. Cascades Adventures offers a variety of activities for all levels of participants.

Assessments/Trainings

Assessments and trainings are intended to provide aspiring student leaders with practical learning through direct experiences related to leadership development and advanced technical skills. Trainings are conducted quarterly and range from activity specific trainings to workshops covering risk management, group facilitation and trip planning.  Assessments are ongoing and intended to monitor student development as they progress toward leading outings.

Choose your own Adventure

Outings may be proposed by any student, staff or faculty member of OSU Cascades and COCC regardless of their ability to lead the trip or not. Please include the activity, location, date(s), skill level of participants, and necessary gear.
