USF St. Petersburg’s Campus Recreation aims to inspire spontaneity with upcoming adventure trips led by Dan Marshall, coordinator of adventure and aquatics.
This semester there are six trips offered to students: fishing, hiking, sunset sailing, paddling with manatees, camping and a spring break sailing trip.
“The way that I designed them is that they are made for someone who hasn’t done that activity before to someone who does that activity regularly,” Marshall said. “You don’t need any experience, and I do as much as I can to provide everything needed.”
Students, staff and campus recreation members can participate in the trips. Guests are welcome on a case-by-case basis.
“Once you pay the fee and show up, you don’t have to think too much more after that. You just enjoy it,” Marshall said.
The trips are designed with students in mind with affordable pricing and no experience needed.
“It’s an opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone and do something new and interesting that you may have never done before, for half the price you could do it anywhere else,” said Robert Fields, Edge team lead and junior psychology major.
Custom trips are also available for student organizations upon request.
