Mount St. Helens Day Hike

*Scholarships are automatically applied for all students with financial need as documented with the L&C financial aid office. You qualify if you have any Federal Work Study (Lewis & Clark work study does not qualify), Federally subsidized loans (unsubsidized loans do not qualify), Pell Grants, LC/UWC Grants, or International Student Grants. Merit scholarships do not qualify. If you aren’t sure whether or not you qualify, you can come into the office and we can take a look for you.

If you qualify, the trip fee is automatically cut in half thanks to scholarship funding from ASB. 

How to Sign Up:

To register for a trip, use the Button above for each specific trip, or stop by the College Outdoors office in Fowler 239.

Registration is all first-paid, first-served. We accept cash, credit/debit cards, and apple/samsung/google pay. 

Cancelation Policy:

If you need to cancel your registration, please do so with as much notice as possible so that others can attend the trip. You will receive a full refund if the trip sells out. You may also be eligible for a refund if you are sick or injured, if you provide an official note from a healthcare provider. 

Please note that if you cancel later than midday Thursdays for trips that same weekend, any meals deducted from your meal plan for the trip cannot be returned because the food has already been picked up from Bon Appetit.

Rigor level:

• Rigorous

No experience necessary! All of our trips are designed to teach you all the necessary skills required for this activity.

• Mellow: Outings designed for anyone who wants to get outdoors in a leisurely manner. Terrain or activity will be gentle and the energy will be more calm.
• Moderate: Trips with more physical effort and opportunities for “challenge by choice.” Build your confidence in the outdoors, pushing yourself in a supportive environment.
• Rigorous: High-energy trips, exploring varied landscapes through adventurous activities. While rigor level is high, still no experience is required!
