The Outdoor Center enhances opportunities for students and other members of the WWU community to involve themselves in outdoor recreation activities. This fall has a host of events available to all so come join us in exploring the outdoors and learning more about ourselves and others!

Registration for the first half (September-October) of Fall '22 will be open on Monday, September 26 at 10 AM. Registration for the second half of Fall '22 will open late October (check WIN for the event details for this).

Students must sign-up in-person at the Outdoor Center (Viking Union 150, off Garden Street). Trips have a limited number of spots and typically fill up fast - registration is first-come, first-serve. There will be waiting lists available once trips are full. All Outdoor Center events are either free or low-cost ($10).

If you have any questions, please reach out to both of our '22 Outdoor Center Excursion Co-Coordinators, Abigail (as.oc.ex.asst.coord@wwu.edu) and Kateri (as.oc.excursions.coord@wwu.edu)

For disability accommodations, questions or requests please contact Abigail and Kateri at least two weeks before the trip. For more information check out our website
