Blue Devil Rec Connect with Stout Adventures is an adventure-based program designed specifically for first-year students. It is a great way for your student to meet like-minded folks, become familiar with campus and explore the community before they start their first semester at UW-Stout.

From Thursday, August 27, to Saturday, August 29, we'll spend time exploring the Menomonie area through various activities and day trips, with campus as our home base.

Registration is open. Activities may include:

  • Outdoor Challenge Course
  • Indoor Climbing Wall
  • Canoeing and Kayaking
  • Paddle Boarding
  • Hiking
  • Beach Day
  • Yard Games and Picnics
