Welcome to Outdoor Rec!
Outdoor Recreation at Pacific Lutheran University is more than just a weekend trip—it’s a shared experience rooted in exploration, connection, and adventure. Each weekend, students from across campus come together to hike in the Cascades, kayak on the Puget Sound, snowshoe through the mountains, or explore nearby states. Our trips are built around community, discovery, and creating memories that last.
In addition to trips, Outdoor Rec offers gear rentals exclusively to the PLU community—students, staff, and faculty—and provides the knowledge and resources to help you plan your own adventures in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Our office is currently closed for the summer, but we’ll be back in September to kick off a new year of exploring together. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to email us at outdoor@plu.edu and we’ll get back to you once we return to campus.
We look forward to adventuring with you this fall.
