Outdoor & Place-Based Experiences
Signature Academic Experiences support student engagement within your academic and career fields. Through framing experiences that support exploration and discovery, students will have a deeper connection to the world of possibilities for OHIO’s Bobcats.
Types of experiences include:
- New Adventures: First-Year Outdoor Orientation Programs: Going to college is an adventure, so why not start it that way? Outdoor Pursuits and Signature Academic Experiences partner to offer this high impact OHIO Signature Program. Choose from backpacking, rock climbing, or a canoeing trip, while camping in scenic wilderness areas. Build a tight-knit community with the other incoming students adventuring alongside you. All the while, you'll gain the skills you need to succeed in your first year at OHIO.
- Next Adventure: Sophomore Outdoor Programs: Sophomores – step into your Next Adventure this spring and spend a Saturday just off campus exploring the Ohio University Outdoor Pursuits challenge course here in Athens! Start your morning off with a series of low-ropes team building initiatives to boost your community and communication skills. Take a break for lunch (pizza is provided!) before you navigate high ropes elements and step onto the new Alpine Skypark. Finish the day with a ride down the zip line - featuring easy access to the entry platform for an exciting 1,000-foot ride across the Ridges landscape.
