Outdoor Rec on Demand - view menu
Outdoor Recreation has changed the way we offer most outdoor activities and trips. The standard calendar of scheduled events has been replaced by a seasonal menu of available activities. Customer groups can choose an offered activity and a desired date and Outdoor Recreation programmers will verify availability and then plan and carry out the requested activity. A lead time of 14 days is standard for most activities to allow staff scheduling and planning. Each menu item lists minimum participants required, cost per person and other pertinent details. Contact Outdoor Recreation at 294-2108 if you have any questions regarding offered activities or wish to suggest additional ones.
