Midwest Outdoor Experience (formerly GearFest) has grown beyond just gear and exploded into a multi-day event, featuring camping, competitions, regional music acts, exciting demos, a Friday and Saturday night beer garden and much more!

With over 12,000 visitors during the 2011 event, Midwest Outdoor Experience is one of the largest festivals celebrating the outdoor lifestyle in the Midwest.

Reward yourself for completing your first semester! Shed your winter layers and dust off your bathing suit for a sea kayaking adventure in the Gulf of Mexico. The trip will spend the first day practicing skills with a sea kayaking 101 crash course. Once everyone has mastered the strokes the group will head out into the Gulf and onto the Islands found off the Everglades coast and into the land of 10,000 Islands. White sandy beaches await you and perhaps a glimpse of a manatee, sea turtle and certainly dolphin!  
 

Spend your Veterans Day weekend with the Outdoor Resource Center in the most visited national park in the United States.  Great Smoky Mountains National Park is renowned for its diversity of flora and fauna.  We will spend our days sampling the expansive trail system and our nights camped out under the stars.  Our hiking options will include luscious waterfalls and breathtaking vistas.  In case of inclement weather, a driving tour of historic Cades Cove will provide a warm, dry alternative.

This is an amazing beginner caving trip.  Spectacular views await participants in the fountain and hurricane room of Pine Hill.  This cave is a great combination of crawls; open spaces, and includes a waterfall climb. This is a wet cave, so come dressed to get damp and dirty.

Due to the weather the Haunted Trail and Tower of Terror has been canceled for this evening.

The hike will begin at the Jackson Street Parking Lot and follow the Narrows Trail through the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve, passing numerous overlooks and waterfalls within the first mile as we make our way west into John Bryan State Park. Once inside John Bryan we will continue to follow the Little Miami River for about 2 miles before crossing over a footbridge and looping back around along the South Gorge Trail.  This hike will be approximately 4 miles round trip.

Students in this course, developed by the League of American Bicyclists, will learn:

This is an opportunity to utilize the skills you developed during the Introduction to Lead Climbing.  We will go to an outdoor climbing park and practice lead climbing.  Participants will have the opportunity to lead climb or practice more mock lead climbing.  There are also opportunities to top rope or boulder.  Trip leaders will use their discretion regarding participants’ ability to lead climb.
