Student Outdoor Adventure Recreation (SOAR)
SOAR Trips are scheduled outdoor adventures experiences connecting human powered/propelled outdoor activities to students and the outdoor environment. No participant experience is necessary. Trips are led and instructed by volunteer PSU students who promote a respect for the environment and a love for the outdoors. Trips can be day and/or overnight(s) involving activities such as rock climbing, paddling, hiking/camping, surfing and biking.

Community Adventure Learning Experiences (CALE)
The Outdoor Center also offers experiential team building and personal growth experiences through its CALE program. CALE stands for Community Adventure Learning Experiences. The mission of CALE is to provide quality adventure programming experiences to a diversity of groups for the purpose of developing or reinforcing concepts, skills and/or values. CALE staff members provide structured, adventure-based activities that deliver these outcomes. CALE serves the PSU community as well as the larger Plymouth-area community. CALE adventure programs are diverse. They can be delivered via the outdoor or indoor challenge course, low and no prop activities, indoor rock climbing wall, front country outdoor pursuits or backcountry activities.
