Day Trips

You are living in America's Wildest City - get off campus and get outside! If you have not already discovered for yourself, you will soon find that San Diego is a richly diverse city with year-round amazing outdoor opportunities.

Our day trips provide an opportunity to experience the neighborhoods and outdoor spaces that make San Diego the vibrant destination that it is known to be. Whether you are a local or new to southern California, let us show you some of our favorite places. Our activities are beginner friendly and transportation is always provided. Trips vary semester to semester based on the interest of our student leaders.

Our day trips provide an opportunity to take a break, spend time in nature and share in a positive group experience. Our goals are to provide an introduction to the geology, human history, wildlife and threats impacting the places we visit.
