The Adventure Program rents out a variety of outdoor equipment so you can adventure on your own. Our staff will help you figure out what you need and show you how to use it. We also provide trip planning assistance.
You can reserve gear for your upcoming trip! Equipment reservations can be made up to two weeks in advance and must be made in person at the Adventure Program Rental Desk. Payment is required at time of reservation.
Have a large group or special needs? Email Sydney Sotelo at ssotelo@umd.edu to discuss your options.
