Open House is a community skill-sharing program that takes advantage of the awesome talent and knowledge that exists on campus. Click here to be added to our mailing list, so you can be notified of the free online sign up for each session!

Join us on Wednesday evenings in the Sequoia Gear Warehouse to discuss, learn, and practice skills that range from lighting a camp stove and using a compass to risk management and effective communication.

All of the sessions incorporate engaging and hands-on teaching methods in order to provide an entertaining and educational learning environment!

Whether you are new to College Outdoors and looking to get more involved, or you are a trip leading veteran, you are welcome and encouraged to attend these sessions in order to broaden our staff’s skill-base and build a sense of community within College Outdoors. We hope to see you there! Just click the link at the top of this page to get on the mailing list.

College Outdoors trips have a Pre-Trip Meeting (PTM) prior to the trip to help you prepare, which takes place at the Sequoia warehouse on the Graduate Campus.

At this meeting you’ll meet the trip leaders and other participants, learn more about the trip activity, location, and schedule, and be given a packing list of everything you need for your trip. The trip leaders and Sequoia staff will then help you find and borrow anything on the packing list that you’d like to borrow. We have high-quality outdoor clothing and equipment, and it’s all free to use for your trip!

If you miss a Pre-Trip Meeting, check your email for important info you missed. 

Sequoia is the College Outdoors warehouse, located on the Graduate Campus. Everything you’ll need is available for free when you come on a College Outdoors Trip. At Sequoia you will find:

  • Clothing needed for your trip, including any relevant outerwear and specialty items needed for the activity. Sizes range from XS - XXL and come in gendered an non-gendered designs. 
  • Gear needed for your trip, such as sleeping bags, backpacks, water bottles, and much much more.
  • Equipment such as tents, cookware, first-aid kits, and boats, which trip leaders will pack for each trip as needed.
  • Gender-neutral bathrooms, which can also be used as changing rooms.
  • Staff available to answer your questions.
