Reinhardt Outdoors

Learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom—our Reinhardt Outdoors adventure trips allow you to explore beyond the campus and experience the outdoors in new and exciting ways.
Reinhardt Outdoors provides students and other members of the University community with a variety of educational outdoor experiences and teaches them to enjoy these experiences safely and with respect for the environment and themselves. Reinhardt Outdoors sponsors caving, hiking, rappelling, horseback riding, mountain biking and canoeing/rafting trips for the Reinhardt community.
