The Daily Bruin

Outdoor Rec (OREC) is offering an overnight snowshoe trip Jan. 9-10 that will head to the Mountain View Shelter near Santiam Pass.

This is a fantastic opportunity to spend time outside with others while learning about backcountry travel and camping in a winter environment. The best part is that we will have access to the shelter to stay warm and play games. 

The trip is open to students of all ability levels. The trip will cost $40 and includes food, transportation, and equipment rental. Sign up on IMLeagues.com or stop by the Hadlock Student Center for more information.

Questions? Contact Keith Schneider at kscheid@georgefox.edu or Rob Simpson at simposonr@georgefox.edu.
