Have you always wanted to learn how to kayak or rock climb? The University of Minnesota Duluth offers several options for learning these skills, including safety and rescue clinics. Take an introductory course at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, kayaking the open waters of Lake Superior, or paddle next to anchored ocean freighters on Duluth Waterfront Tours. Rock climb on the North Shore and enjoy nature’s beauty. Half- or full-day courses. Once you’ve mastered the courses, sign up for the University’s adventure trips. There are several to choose from throughout the summer and they change from year to year. Skill level of trips varies from beginner to intermediate. Call or visit the University’s website for schedule and pricing. A couple examples:

Mountain bike and rock climb in the Moab desert. Cycle through sandstone landscapes and stand on ancient rock spires.

Alpine climb in Rocky Mountain National Park. Attempt to take the summit at 14,225 feet.
