Outdoor Programs, first started in the Lagniappe semester of 2006, offers Tulane students a variety of outdoor escapes. We plan a dozen trips per semester so that Tulanians can experience the unique outdoor opportunities available in the Gulf Coast region.

As space on our trips is limited, we urge interested students to sign up at the Member Services office as soon as possible. Once you have registered for a trip, you will receive an information packet that will include the time and place of the pre-trip meeting (usually held about a week before the trip itself) as well as packing lists, activity descriptions, and useful phone numbers.

For more information, call the Outdoor Programs Office at 504-314-2862 or email Caroline Zinser at czinser@tulane.edu
