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. Information about outings and workshops can be found on the Cascades Adventures webpage, Facebook or Instagram, or in person in the Office of Student Life. Activity and trip information is also disseminated through on campus advertising such as brochures, fliers and the Beaver Tracks. 
 

Outing Registration

Register for Cascades Adventures trips, workshops and trip leader training programs online or in person at the Office of Student Life in Tykeson Hall Rm. 110. All registration priority is determined on a first come first served basis. Some trips require a minimal fee, which will need to be paid with a credit card in the Cascades Adventures office to reserve a spot on the trip. Trips going off campus also have a required pre-trip meeting where participants will get important information about the trip including itinerary, equipment list, possible hazards and trip expectations. 

Becoming a Trip Leader

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. Participant Coordinators, Assistant Trip Leaders and Trip Leaders are all positions within the Cascades Adventures Leadership Pathway. 

Choose your own Adventure

Outings may be proposed by any student, staff, or faculty member of OSU-Cascades. In addition, Cascades Adventures staff is available to lead a trip or team building activity for OSU-Cascades student groups.
