Pittsburgh Connections: Outdoor Adventure Series

Carnegie Mellon students are offered the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of recreational activities located off-campus. Events take place on Saturdays throughout the fall and spring semesters. Each trip can accommodate up to 40 students and provides participants with the opportunity to engage in exciting activities at a significantly reduced cost. The core goals of this program are to help students develop and maintain a physically active lifestyle, build leadership skills and to increase the appreciation for the Western Pennsylvania region. Past activities have included: kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, snorkeling, rock climbing, caving, snow boarding, skiing, wilderness survival, paintball, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, and a GPS scavenger hunt. All tickets can be purchased at the University Center Information Desk.

Check out the Spring 2008 schedule of events.

This initiative is sponsored by the Student Life Office and the RK Mellon Foundation. For more information, please contact .
