Clemson Outdoor Recreation and Education

Explore Adventure
A Unique Adventure for Incoming Students
Explore Adventure is an outdoor orientation program that is designed to provide incoming Clemson students the opportunity to build friendships with other incoming students, learn about life at Clemson from current students, gain experience in local outdoor recreation, and reflect on their transition to college in a fun and relaxed environment before their first semester at Clemson begins. The Explore Adventure program is designed for first-year Clemson students and is tailored towards the beginner! While we teach you the ropes on camping, paddling, and backpacking, a base level of physical fitness is required.
