Outdoor Adventures (OA) is a service program within Student Life at the University of San Diego. OA provides USD community members and their guests with opportunities to experience new adventures that aim to promote learning and awareness of the outdoors, while connecting with new friends, students, faculty, staff and alumni.

With a focus on outdoor recreation, eco-learning, leadership development and teambuilding, we facilitate custom excursions and equipment rentals for activities such as rock climbing, kayaking, backpacking, canoeing, snorkeling, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding and much more. There are many ways to get involved and a great community to connect with. So join us for our next adventure as we discover beautiful San Diego and beyond.

"Challenge By Choice” is OA’s fundamental philosophy. We strive to foster an environment in which participants feel comfortable to challenge their limits. However, we recognize and respect that everyone’s limits are their own.
