Find your Happy Place.  Outdoor Adventures is inviting you to take a trip outside and explore the world around you.  We are offering an incentive program for participants to explore the natural beauty of the UWF campus and surrounding Nature Preserves and State Parks system.

Please email us at outdooradventure@uwf.edu with a picture(s) of your experience at any of the listed locations below or a destination all your own. As long as you are outside in nature and having a great time, it will count toward reaching your goal of 10 outdoor locations by the end of the semester.
