Spring Trips with College Outdoors

Guest Columnist: Kori Campbell, Director of College Outdoors

January 26, 2026

Winter is here, and Spring Break is right around the corner!

College Outdoors trips are a great way to get off campus and enjoy the snow, relax at the coast, or learn a new skill. New for 2026, there is also a Ski Bus shuttle to Mt. Hood on Friday evenings! You don’t need any previous experience for any College Outdoors trip, and we provide everything you need. Join the College Outdoors mailing list to receive the weekly newsletter with current trip info and updates.

Did you know that you can get PE/A credit for attending a College Outdoors Spring Break Trip? Just 1) email kori@lclark.edu for course permissions, 2) register in WebAdvisor before the end of Add-Drop on Friday, and 3) stop by the College Outdoors office in Fowler 239 to sign up and pay for the trip of your choice. For those not going on the trip for credit, Spring Break trip sign-ups open this Wednesday!

Trip registration is first-paid, first-served. You can sign up in person at the College Outdoors office in Fowler 239, or by calling us at 503-768-7116. Thanks to ASLC, students with financial need get half off all trips!
