Get Involved With OA
The Outdoor Adventures program (OA) strives to empower and inspire the GVSU community through outdoor and adventure-based opportunities. With OA you will try new activities in a welcoming and fun environment, find a community of friends with similar outdoor interests, learn the skills to give you the confidence for exploration and resources for making your own adventures a reality.
Our student staff have the responsibility for the bulk of the planning and facilitation of OA programs and services.
Check out other amazing opportunities to Get Involved, Be Active, & Live Healthy.
