Getting Involved

UConn Students, Student Recreation Facility members and their non-member guests are all encouraged to participate. UConn Outdoors strives to provide adventures which meet the needs of all skill levels, beginner to advanced. Previous outdoor experience is not necessary for our programs, unless otherwise noted.

 

Non-Member Policy

Non-members are allowed to participate in UConn Outdoors Programs. Non-members must be sponsored by a member registered for the same UConn Outdoors program. Only one non-member guest allowed per person. Non-members are only allowed to register for programs two weeks after the opening of regular program registration.

 

Trip/Clinic Registration

Registration begins on January 20 and takes place at the UConn Adventure Center (UAC) between 11AM - 6PM (M-F) The UAC is located on the 2nd floor of the Student Union immediately across from the Information and Ticket desks. Trip and clinic registration are on a first come, first serve basis and payment is required in full at the time of registration, unless otherwise noted. At the time of registration you will be asked to provide your valid UConn ID. Non-student SRF members are required to show proof of insurance at registration. Non-member guests are required to show a valid drivers license and proof of insurance at registration. All participants will be asked to read, complete and sign the UConn Outdoors registration form.

 

Payment

Payment is required in full at the time of registration, unless otherwise noted. Payment can be made in the form of Husky Bucks, cash or check made payable to “UConn Recreational Services.” Some programs may require a deposit. Please note that all deposits are non-refundable. Programs with deposits have a required date for the payment of remaining fees. Payment must be made by the date listed or the participant forfeits all fees.

 

Information Meetings

Some trips will require the attendance of a pre-trip information meeting. Meetings are held in the UConn Adventure Center and times will be listed on the trip information form given to you at registration. These meetings are extremely important as equipment, food, safety issues, departure times and various other items will be discussed and determined by the group. Attendance is mandatory unless otherwise arranged with the Director for Outdoor Adventure. Individuals who do not attend the information meetings without prior arrangements will not be allowed on the program and will forfeit all fees.

 

Cancellation and Contingency

If you cancel your registration for any reason it must be done before the close of business (6PM) on the registration deadline in order to receive a 50% refund. Cancellations after the registration deadline will result in the forfeiture of all fees. As we are adventurers, our trips or clinics usually take place rain or shine. However, if the situation warrants it due to unsafe conditions, we reserve the right to cancel a trip/clinic at any time. In the event of a cancellation all fees will be refunded. Additionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, UConn Outdoors reserves the right to remove or alter program itinerary items.
