Yes, we want to help everyone enjoy the outdoors. Please see our equipment rental page for current options and rates.

Any currently enrolled student or faculty/staff paying the Campus Recreation fee will receive a 25% discount to the listed prices.

For most items, reservations are accepted the “week of” the rental period. Call us the Monday prior to your adventure and we'll be happy to get you the gear you need.

Exceptions: rafts and bikes can be reserved starting the last Monday of March for anytime during the season until November.

If equipment is damaged upon return, you will be responsible for repair or replacement.

If you’re not able to get your equipment back to us on time, please call ahead and pay for an additional day. If you fail to return your equipment on time, you will be charged an additional day plus a late fee.

We have a set number of oar frames and dry boxes for our rafts. So we don’t rent out oar frame equipment separately. 

Our trips are only open to current students, faculty, and staff at the University of Utah. 

See the schedule for this semester's trips.

Register online and pay the deposit with a credit card over the phone, or come to see us during our office hours within the Student Life Center.

University of Utah policies prohibit alcohol, controlled substances, and firearms. These items are not permitted on any OA Adventure.

Participants are not required to have health insurance, but it is strongly encouraged.
