Group Hours

Outdoor Action offers University groups such as RCA groups, student organizations, sports teams, etc. the opportunity to request private time at the Climbing Wall with climbing instructors on Thursdays from 8-10pm and Saturdays from 1:30-3pm. We hope that this will be another way that different student groups can destress and build community while staying active.
