UWild Adventures
Live Curiously. Be Wild.
Being wild is experiencing life outside of your comfort zone. To push and believe that one can accomplish something previously thought impossible or never thought of at all. Engaging in adventure is connecting to a wild side, enriching the human experience. The raw, natural landscape drives curiosity to understand the unknown, pushes willpower to take one step further than before, and inspires thinking larger than oneself.
Come join us in any way that works for you, whether that’s a class, trip, renting gear, climbing at the Crags, paddling at the Waterfront, or joining a club. Everyone needs some time outdoors, and we’re here to help make that happen.
