Eco-Adventure 2007
FUNDED BY STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Entering our 3rd year at UNF, our Eco-Adventure Program aims to make use of our natural assets on campus and in the surrounding area by getting out there and experiencing the great outdoors. Currently camping and hiking equipment is available for check-out to UNF students for FREE.
Our big project right now is to bring a High Ropes Course to UNF , we are in the planning and idea stages so let us know what you think. We hope to offer team building programs and high ropes adventure right on campus.
We offer outdoor skills demonstrations, on and off-campus trips and additional outdoor recreation opportunities free to UNF students. Non-students welcome, $5 for on-campus demonstrations and $10 to attend day trips. Students let your Student Government Senators (sgapres@unf.edu) know if you are interested in having other adventure gear available for students. Let us know any ideas you have to make our campus more fun, rectrail@unf.edu.
