Upcoming trips include mountain biking, hiking, caving, climbing, bouldering, kayaking, tubing, canoeing, and camping trips. The majority of trips are free with a $20 deposit to reserve your spot. When payment is required, UTC students receive a discounted group rate for these trips.<\/p>\n<p>September 14-15, UTC is offering a women\u2019s tubing and camping trip. Contributions from the UTC Women\u2019s Center have accommodated the price of this trip, making it free for students.<\/p>\n<p>Also coming up is the annual skydiving trip, which Muller says always fills to capacity. \u201cIt\u2019s really popular, so if people want to go, they need to get there to sign up as quick as they can.\u201d This trip costs $180 and isn\u2019t for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n<p>There are weekday activities for students as well. On Wednesdays, UTC Outdoors offers the chance to go stand-up paddle boarding along the shores of downtown Chattanooga while the warm weather lasts. On Thursdays, take the chance to go on a group bike ride through the town. Both activities are free with a $20 check deposit submitted ahead of time to the UTC Outdoors Office to reserve your place.<\/p>\n<p>UTC Outdoors also offers free rental equipment to students. Equipment includes camping gear, such as tents, sleeping bags, and stoves, as well as fly fishing gear, snow boards, backpacks, tubes, disc golf equipment, and more. Students can get enough equipment for two people to go camping or biking, so grab a friend and go. Students need only visit the UTC Outdoors office on the first floor of the ARC and have a $50 check deposit ready, which they get back as long as the equipment is returned on time and in the same condition. Students may rent equipment for the day during the week or may take equipment out for weekend rentals.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9654\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"9654\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2013\/09\/get-outside-with-utc-outdoors\/utcoutdoors2012-canoe-rivercleanup_19\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"399,600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;jaimie Davis&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D300S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1332586754&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;UTC Outdoors canoeing trip&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9654 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19.jpg\" alt=\"UTC Outdoors canoeing trip\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19.jpg 399w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19-133x200.jpg 133w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/09\/UTCOutdoors2012-Canoe-RiverCleanUp_19-266x400.jpg 266w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">UTC Outdoors canoeing trip<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t been an outdoorsy person in the past, but you\u2019d like to try some of the activities that UTC Outdoors has to offer, that\u2019s no problem either.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really the best avenue for students that maybe don\u2019t have a lot of outdoor experience but would like to learn about it,\u201d says Muller, \u201cIn our program, we typically try to focus on the beginners. I would really suggest they come out and get involved in the trips that we\u2019ve already planned so they can learn about the sport and get some experience. While we do offer intermediate levels, we have a lot of beginner activities too. We try to cater to the group that\u2019s signed up for a trip and we\u2019ll tailor the activity to their skill level. We want to teach students to go from no experience to the knowledge of how to go out there and do these things on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trips, rentals, and clinics are all available to people of all skill levels, even those with no experience at all. UTC Outdoors staff makes sure that students are well prepared for the trips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn backpacking, for example, if a student has never been backpacking before, we\u2019ll have a pre-trip meeting to explain what to expect, what to pack and what will just be unnecessary weight, what kind of shoes to wear, how many miles we\u2019ll go, and things like that. Every camping trip we do, we get at least one or two people who have never been camping,\u201d Muller explained.<\/p>\n<p>Muller encourages students who want to venture out into Chattanooga but don\u2019t know where to begin to ask the UTC Outdoors staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf students are looking for information about activities that they\u2019re interested in, like where to go hiking or canoeing for example, they can come ask advice from our staff. They\u2019re very knowledgeable about what there is to do around Chattanooga and how to go about it. We have books, maps, and other resources and we can give students advice on where to go and how to plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about UTC Outdoors <a href=\"http:\/\/www.utc.edu\/campus-recreation\/utc-outdoors\/index.php\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chattanooga is nicknamed the Scenic City, so while the pleasant weather lasts, it\u2019s time to get out there and see the sights.<\/p>\n<p>UTC has a variety of outdoor activities for people of all skill levels.
