What We Do

At OREC, students plan different activities for all of the land, rock, and water experiences. Here are some examples of the types of Adventure Trips students can participate in.

Bouldering at Rumbling Bald

Every semester, OREC brings students to the Rumbling Bald bouldering field in Chimney Rock State Park. Here participants can find dozens of boulders fit for beginners and experts.
