The Outdoor Pursuits Program offers a broad range of activities and workshops throughout the academic semesters. Additionally, Outdoor Pursuits manages and operates the on-campus climbing wall.

Trips are organized activities designed to introduce Fort Lewis College students to the outdoor recreational opportunities of the Four Corners region and beyond. Occasionally, throughout the year, Outdoor Pursuits offers evening clinics on a variety of outdoor related topics. Also available to the Fort Lewis College community is an indoor climbing wall that provides a diversity of challenges.

The Outdoor Pursuits Program has a wide variety of outdoor and backcountry equipment available for check out. There is no charge for equipment use once the modest one time annual user fee has been paid.
