Colgate’s Outdoor Education program is proud to be among the most respected collegiate programs in the nation, helping Colgate’s students, faculty and staff to explore their sense of place, rediscover the natural world and learn about themselves.
Through our Wilderness Adventure pre-Orientation program for first-years, our student staff training program and four sessions of physical education classes and outings, we give students the opportunity to grow, learn highly-technical outdoor skills, hone leadership styles and capitalize on the beauty of the Hamilton area and the Adirondack state park.
Regardless of skill level, we take members of the Colgate community out of the classroom and into some of the region's most beautiful natural settings--often just a brief ride from campus.
