Outdoor Adventures
Get ready for some outdoor fun — we provide opportunities for our students and the Las Vegas community to engage in outdoor recreation through our trips and educational programs.
UNLV Outdoor Adventures will no longer be accepting cash for Trips or Equipment Rentals after June 1st. This will make refunds available to you much quicker for cancelled trips and equipment orders.
