It’s Fun to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone!
The Adventure Recreation program – part of the programming offered by Cleveland State Campus Recreation Services – is designed to take participants outside the walls of the Rec Center to experience recreation opportunities available in Northeast Ohio and our neighboring cities and states. Despite being situated in an urban, downtown setting, there are plenty of areas and opportunities close by to take advantage.
All our trips and clinics are open to CSU students, Rec Center Members AND the Cleveland community. All skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join in the fun! And for most trips, the gear and equipment needed is provided for you – it’s as easy as showing up! Check out our Adventure Trips and Instructional Clinics pages to sign up today!
