The Seek Your Adventure Award helps Fort Lewis College students turn bold ideas into unforgettable experiences. Each year, students can apply for up to$1,500 to fund a custom, student-designed Outdoor Pursuits trip.
Whether you're planning a multi-day backpacking trip, a river expedition, or something uniquely your own, this award removes financial barriers so you can explore the landscapes that make Âé¶¹Ãâ·Ñ¸ßÇåÎÞשÂëÇøextraordinary—while building confidence, leadership, and connection to place.
"The Seek Your Adventure Award created the opportunity for a couple of friends and me to finally pull off a trip that we had been talking about for years—and to do it right, taking the time to truly immerse ourselves in the landscape. This would not have been possible without OP's mentorship and financial support."
With a lifetime of adventure just beyond campus, you're invited to dream big. Submit your idea, and let us help you make it happen.
