At Outdoor Programs, we love adventure. We crave the challenges that come from engaging with the natural world. We value the gains that come from a life lived in awe - and greater understanding - of wild places. Outdoor Programs has offered ASU Students, Faculty and Staff a chance to get outside and seek challenge and adventure for nearly 40 years. We are NOT a club and there is NO membership required. We always have something going on from 3-hour team building experiences to 55-day International expeditions, state of the art indoor climbing center to rental gear, OP has something for everyone.  So, take a look at the Adventure Book, poke around the Website and stop by our Base Camp in the Student Recreation Center to discover everything OP can offer you.  Don't settle for inside!
