Student Recreation
Get Active at CU Anschutz
The Outdoor Pursuits Gear Program through the Office of Student Affairs provides a variety of outdoor gear for students to check out when planning to experience Colorado's outdoor activities. Through the program, we offer free to use outdoor equipment, sports gear, and yard games for students looking to recreate in our beautiful state!
Requests can be made here: Outdoor Pursuits Request Form
Due to increased demand, students may only request gear for themselves unless planning an event for a student group or student function. Gear is rented on a first reserved basis so the sooner your request is submitted, the more likely you will be able to use equipment. We ask that outdoor gear and large sports equipment requests be made 3-5 business days in advance.
Summer Pick Up/Drop Off Hours:
Monday-Wednesdays 9am-4pm
Fridays 10am-2pm
Pick Up/Drop Off Location: Education 2 North - #3200
Important Note Regarding Upcoming Holiday Weekend:
Requests for July 4th weekend must be submitted by Monday June 29th and pick ups by Wednesday July 1st.
For any questions, please email outdoorpursuits@cuanschutz.edu. We will respond to inquiries within 3 business days.
