The FSC outdoor recreation program offers students a variety of fun outdoor activities, such as bicycling, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, and camping. These trips are a great way to meet new friends who share similar interests and to learn new skills. One day excursions, overnight trips, and break trips enable participants to enjoy the real Florida at its state parks and recreational facilities.

Canoeing. Explore Florida's waterways up close in a canoe. This day trip is held on a Saturday. Be sure to bring a disposable camera to capture your adventure memories!

Horseback Riding. Do you love horses? Take a relaxing trail ride with a friend or your significant other!  This trip is designed for riders of all experience levels. No experience is necessary to participate. All riders must wear a helmet during the ride. You may borrow a helmet from the stable, or wear your own bike helmet.

Kayaking. Kayaking is a great way to enjoy Florida's coast, lakes, and rivers. Kayaks have a low profile and allow a feeling of being closer to the water than the feel of canoeing. Kayaking involves a moderate amount of fitness and upper-body strength.

Paint Ball. Play paintball with your friends for a couple of hours. Bust some stress and paint pellets before exam week! The required gear is provided along with a starting quantity of paint balls. Participants may purchase additional ammo at the shop.

Rock Climbing. Are you climbing the walls of your residence hall room? Try climbing real walls and test your strength and endurance skills! This trip is for the novice to experienced rock climber. Aiguille Rock Gym in Orlando has more than 25 walls for various climbing abilities. Students will learn the safety rules of the ropes and how to belay for each other, followed by four hours of climb time.

Gear Checkout. Our gear checkout program allows you the chance to plan and take your own outdoor adventure trips. | Find out more »
