Welcome

The natural outdoor environment is one of the most satisfying and thrilling venues for physical activity. Participating in out door adventure sports builds self-esteem, a sense of community, and leadership skills in college students. Few things are as thrilling or as challenging as climbing a rock face, jumping out of an airplane or shooting through raging water rapids.

The outdoor adventure program is a department of Campus Recreation at East Tennessee State University.

Our goal is to provide students with trips, inside, and out door climbing facilities, and rental equipment rentals.

We also provide organizations of ETSU as well as organizations not associated with the university, programs at our Basler Challenge course. This unique outdoor adventure ropes course is designed to promote the development of group dynamics.
