Outdoor Pursuit!!!

Hey everyone, have you heard of Outdoor Pursuit? I'm sure that many of you think that it's a club or organization at the college, but it's really a service that is offered. Outdoor Pursuit was created so that students and faculty can enjoy and learn more about nature and the Duluth area ( http://www.css.edu/x3078.xml). The service is advised by Michael Odberg and the CSS chapter of Outdoor Pursuit, called Northern Explorers. They "go on outdoor outings, develop leadership skills, bring the outdoors to area youth, build lifelong outdoor skills, and provide outdoor opportunities for the entire CSS community" (http://www.css.edu/x3078.xml).

So what activities are offered through Outdoor Pursuit? Well, they offer winter camping, sea kayaking, sledding, alpine skiing, hiking, and many more which can be found on their website (http://www.css.edu/x3081.xml). Many of the activities have minimal fees, if any. Sea kayaking and rock climbing are already scheduled for the spring and more activities will be added. Make sure to check the websites listed above for the latest on each activity. With Outdoor Pursuit, you can continue to exercise and train for these outstanding activities that are offered. As always, I hope to see you at the Wellness Center.
