Spring 2010 Weekly Excursions
Beginning January 11 - May 23, 2010.

• Slacklining
  • Tuesdays and Fridays from 1-3pm
    Join the slacklining trend every Tuesday and Friday afternoon!  Slacklining is a balance sport which uses nylon webbing stretched tight between two anchor points.  The slackline is dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline.  Learn to slackline or showing off your already honed skills while working on your balance, stability and improving your core strength. Meet us over at our new permanent slackline facility located behind the Blatt PE Center in the Triangular Plaza under the bridge leading to Bates.
• Climbing Wall Orientation
  • Wednesdays @ 5pm
    This is a great introduction for the first time climber.  You will learn how to properly tie-in, belay and manage safety hazards. In addition, you will learn basic climbing and bouldering techniques. At the end of this orientation you will be ready to test out for your belay certification.
• Kayak Roll Clinics
  • Wednesdays @ 7pm (Alternating Weekly)
    Every other Wednesday these beginner clinics will teach the Eskimo Roll and basic kayaking strokes.  No previous kayaking experience required and Outdoor Rec will provide all the necessary equipment.
    
• Kayak Polo
  • Wednesdays @ 7pm  (Alternating Weekly)
    Join Outdoor Recreation every other Wednesday for pick-up games.  Kayak polo is a team sport where the objective is to score in the opponent's net. Think basketball in a kayak.
