Department of Campus Recreation

The BSU Outdoor Program Center is dedicated to providing the university community with outdoor experiencial learning opportunities which allow us to enjoy the outdoors, explore our personal potential, and develop a respect and understanding of the Earth's natural systems and our responsibilites within them.

Welcome to the Outdoor Program Center at Bemidji State! Living in northern Minnesota is such a great experience for students, and we strive to assist them in making the most of their time here. Whether you'd like to try climbing at our indoor wall, learning about sailiing on Lake Bemidji, or checking out a top notch rental outfit for your own Boundary Waters adventure, we love to see folks getting out on their own in the outdoors. The public is also welcome to come along on our trips, so we often meet the most terrific people out on the trail. Consider this an invitation to stop down, call us, or attend one of our clinics. You'll right away notice that we've got a terrific staff and fun programs for every ability level. I'm very proud to be a part of Campus Recreation at BSU, and encourage you to take a chance and take a look. It just might start you out on the road to a new adventure! (Mark Morrissey)
