Mission

The Outdoor Program offers intentional outdoor recreational opportunities to the students of Seattle University, while enhancing leadership, building community, and caring for the beautiful landscapes of the Northwest in the spirit of adventure.

        We Strive to:

• Develop responsible student leaders through experiential learning, emphasizing a commitment to healthful outdoor recreation as well as risk management and environmental stewardship.
• Promote an interest in outdoor recreation that encourages lifelong physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual development of our students.
• Provide inclusive opportunities for participants of all experience levels to foster community, especially for personal not regularly represented in the outdoors.
• Develop a community of students, staff and faculty that desire an outdoor education in order to develop life skills such as consciousness, respect, positive impact and awareness of our surroundings.
