Become a Trip Coordinator

All UNI Outdoors’ trips are based on the “common adventurer” philosophy which holds that the foremost goal of any common adventure is to achieve an enjoyable and worthwhile experience while displaying the greatest respect for the natural environment. The common adventurer, due to the varying degrees of ability of each participant, can best achieve this goal by becoming part of a “common” group effort. In the spirit of this effort, all decisions are consensus group decisions and leaders emerge as situations arise. Thus, one can see that “trip coordinator” is a well-chosen title.
