You get all that and more through Colgate's outdoor education program. Regarded as one of the finest of its kind, Colgate's program provides students a chance to rediscover the natural world while learning about themselves.

So whether it's winter camping in the Adirondacks, just a couple hours from campus, learning to kayak in nearby Lake Moraine, cross-country skiing, or learning basic survival skills, the outdoor education program has something for everyone. Use the links to the left to learn more.

Our mission is to provide the community with experiential opportunities which emphasize safety, environmental awareness and technical skills, while promoting personal growth and group development through rediscovery of the natural world.
