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.
We now rent Kayaks and Mountain Bikes!

Equipment Rentals
UNLV Outdoor Adventures will be increasing equipment rental prices starting June 1st. This is the first time OA has increased rental prices ever! We are doing so in order to maintain current inventory and provide only the best equipment for all.
UNLV students, staff, faculty, U.S. residents, and international travelers are welcome to rent a variety of equipment from the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. High volumes of rental reservations are submitted year-round, and we require a 72 hour notice. Currently, same day rentals are not available.
Camping, bouldering, water, snow, and other sports equipment is available. Rentals can be picked up and dropped off during our building's open business hours. You can find our facility hours on the Campus Recreational Services homepage.
