Outdoor Resources

While Davidson Outdoors helps students lead trips for the program, many are more interested or suited to doing trips on their own. We recognize that not everyone should be a trip leader. So, we feel compelled to help all who want to get outdoors. To this end we provide the following services to students, faculty, and staff.

Trip Planning Our staff is available to you to discuss your outing plans. What kind of experience do you want? Where do you want to go? How do you want to travel? What kind of meal options do you have in your repertoire? What kind of equipment do you already have, what might you considering getting for your next trip? Come on by our call us to set up a time to sit and talk awhile.
Map Library We have a broad assortment of maps to help you plan your hike. From US Geological maps to trail descriptions you can gain a fuller understanding of what you might be getting into. We will even rent you maps and a compass to carry on your trip so you can have a great hike and stay found the whole time.
Outdoor Literature Our library of outdoor writings will help you learn more about the outdoor pursuit you've chosen. Where is a good place to begin to paddle in the Southeast? What are some great off road bicycle rides in North Carolina? What islands on the Atlantic Coast are worth visiting in your sea kayak? What plant and animal life might you encounter on your next hike? Our library can help you answer these and a myriad other questions. Come browse whenever we are open - you just might discover a new hobby or meet a new adventuring buddy.
Bicycle Repair Equipment Need to repack your hubs? Want to true up that front wheel? Planning to replace your entire drive train or just want to tune up your indexed shifting? Come by the Davidson Outdoors office and utilize our bike tools and repair stands. If you already know what you're doing and just need access to the tools, great!
Equipment Rental Our outdoor equipment is primarily used to support trips run by the Outdoor program. But we also make some of it available for Davidson College folks to rent. Please check out our rental information or give us a call.
