Outdoor Adventure is Awarded Outdoor National Foundation Grant

Campus Recreation's Outdoor Adventures program has been awarded a grant from the Outdoor Nation Foundation to further encourage outdoor activities to students at Universities and Colleges across the United States.  The grant is to provide support for a nationwide campus challenge that runs from Sept 4th to October 15th. The challenge tasks students to take as many photos of themselves  as possible doing outdoor activities and then submitting the photos to www.oncampuschallenge.org, the school with the most photos is eligible for prizes and additional grants.

Doug Tully, Outdoor Adventure Director, has stated that; "My plan is to get UCI students involved in this challenge by utilizing all the wonderful outdoor activities we have close at hand in southern California such as cycling, paddling, climbing and even slacklining!".
