Whether you are a life-long outdoor enthusiast or have never ventured off pavement, the Adventure House affords you the opportunity to blend academics, community living and backcountry, human-powered adventure.
Residents are dedicated to learning about and enjoying wilderness related activities. Coordinated through Outdoor Pursuits, staff and faculty will partner with residents to plan a variety of workshops, clinics and trips around favorite activities including rafting, biking, backpacking, kayaking, snowshoeing, rock and ice climbing, skiing/riding, wilderness safety and ethics, equipment repair and so much more!
Every year residents find new ways to be involved with enjoying and respecting the backcountry.
"The Adventure House helped me make lifelong friends. We lived, learned and played together and it was a great year,"

Faculty in Residence (FIR) Program
Animas Hall offers a Faculty in Residence Program through a collaboration of Academic Affairs and the Department of Student Housing. It fosters a heightened sense of intellectual curiosity, as well as providing a unique dynamic in the residential community, by bringing the student-teacher relationship outside the classroom and into the living environment. Both informal interactions between faculty and students, and engaging purposeful programs will foster dialogue covering broad topical areas such as education, social responsibility, civic engagement and personal growth.
This year's faculty member is Dr. Justin McBrayer, an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy department. He, along with his wife and two children, live in an apartment in Animas Hall. Read more about Dr. McBrayer here.
