Outdoor Adventures

Winona State University will offer the Senior University course “Outdoor Adventures” beginning Monday, July 7.

This four-week course will allow students to gain an appreciation for the natural environment of the Mississippi River Valley through outdoor activities. Participants will learn new skills, meet new people and step out of their comfort zone. Activities include geocaching, rock climbing, canoeing and kayaking, as well as high and low rope course initiatives and elements.

Instructor Eric Barnard, director of WSU’s Outdoor Education and Recreation Center, and his staff are highly trained and nationally certified outdoor professionals.

The class will meet for four sessions July 7, 14, 21 and 28. Times and locations will vary depending on the activity.

Registration forms are available from the WSU Retiree Center, 507-457-5565 or online at http://winona.augusoft.net. Early registration is recommended.

The class is open to the public and costs $50.
