The Outdoor Education program, located at the Outdoor Education Center (OEC), offers students, University groups and outdoor enthusiasts a variety of invigorating and empowering opportunities in outdoor education through a process of experiential learning, or “learning by doing.” Carolina Outdoor Education challenges participants to reach beyond their perceived personal limits (physically, mentally and socially), fosters greater appreciation for our natural environment, and develops leadership abilities. The OEC is a 20-acre wooded, green space — just a 10-minute walk from the Student Union. Additional recreational opportunities at the OEC include 11 tennis courts, 3 sand volleyball courts and an 18-hole disc golf course.
