Outdoor Pursuits provides outdoor and social experiences emphasizing environmental awareness, outdoor education, challenge, personal development, managed risk, a sense of community, and fun.
For 44 years, Outdoor Pursuits has been the adventure hub of Fort Lewis College. Our tagline, “Adventure is not in the Guidebook…Beauty is not on the Map” is still as relevant with today’s students as it was when the program began in 1977!
Your gift to the Outdoor Pursuits Fund helps ensure that students have opportunities to experience all that OP has to offer! This includes providing Seek Your Adventure Grants for students to dream big and take on their own local adventures. Additionally, donor support increases access to all OP has to offer for students with limited financial means.
