Hiking Trip

Dust off your boots and join Outdoor Adventure on this hiking trip to the Cross Timbers Trail near Lake Texoma in Sherwood Shores, TX. The terrain for this trail is varied as we will hike along the hills above Lake Texoma. This trail is listed as Moderate and can be strenuous at times.

Equine Therapy Trip

On this Outdoor Adventure wellness program, students will learn about and experience the wellness benefits of interacting with horses. Participants will first learn basic safety information about how to engage with a horse so as to minimize stress for the animal and to reduce risk to themselves. Students will have the opportunity to engage in activities including petting, brushing, and spending time with a horse. No previous experience with horses is required. We anticipate leaving the Fitness & Recreation Center on the Denton Campus at 12:30 pm and should return around 2:00 pm. Transportation will be provided. Estimated time: 2 hours. Reservations required (up to 15 TWU students) on a first come, first served basis. Sign up at the front desk of the Fitness & Recreation Center.
