UREC

Skills Clinics and Events

Part of UREC Outdoors' overarching mission is to educate students so they might enjoy the outdoors without outside assistance. To that end, we are happy to offer a variety of outdoor skills clinics that supplement what participants will learn on our adventure trips and at our climbing tower.
