CSB+SJU Outdoor Education

Outdoor U programs host student-led events throughout the year. These programs focus on leadership development and outdoor recreation, building outdoor skills and character at the same time. Although several events are exclusive to CSB and SJU students, many of the programs can be utilized by the community, including team-building, the climbing wall, and wilderness training programs.

Peer Resource Program (PRP)

School break trips, team-building, and on-campus events designed to enhance the development of the CSB+SJU community.

Outdoor Leadership Center (OLC)

Student-run gear center promoting outdoor recreation by providing equipment and running programs including the Fruit at the Finish Triathlon, Banff Mountain Film Festival, and trips both during semesters and over school breaks.

Indoor Climbing Wall

The Wall is located in the Warner Palaestra on the SJU campus. At 40-feet high and with a variety of climbing routes, it is a great place to learn or build your skills. No experience required!
