A group of Middlebury Students standing at the summit of a hill, overlooking a vast landscape. The view includes expansive green fields, patches of forest, and a mountain range in the distance under a partly cloudy sky. Some individuals are pointing towards the horizon, while others are observing the scenery.

Middlebury Outdoor Programs provide equipment, facilities, knowledge, skills, and leadership to help our community explore the outdoors.

Middlebury College sits between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondacks of New York, a remarkable setting for outdoor exploration and enjoyment.

Alpine cliffs, lakes and rivers, ski trails, sweeping views, and agricultural landscapes surround our campus, with massive Lake Champlain nearby. 

Middlebury Outdoor Programs promote responsible stewardship of our environment and each other while encountering the risks, challenges, beauty, and pleasure of time spent outdoors.
