Outdoor Program

The College of Idaho Outdoor Program is an outdoor recreation and educational program offering classes, workshops, trips, and outdoor equipment rentals for student recreational use. The educational component of the Outdoor Program consists of workshops and classes, such as instruction in fly-fishing, rock climbing, and kayaking. CIOP trips include backpacking, camping, rock climbing, and skiing.

Student-led trips are designed for everyone who has an interest in the outdoors, not just experienced adventurers. Previous experience is not required! On each trip there are one or more student leaders present who have received training and experience in the activity, risk management, and wilderness medicine. Trips vary in length from one day to a week, and may include pre-trip instruction to prepare participants. Join the CIOP to get outside and explore Idaho!
