Augustana Outdoor Program

Interested in getting out and about in the outdoors, but need some gear? The AOP offers outdoor gear rentals for free for all current AU students, faculty and staff. Rentals include: kayaks, tents, sleeping bags, backpacking gear, snowshoes and more.

Reservations must be made at least two days prior to the planned pick up date. Pick-ups can be made Monday-Friday, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., unless otherwise arranged. Reservations can only be made via email to Hunter Rud (hrud@augie.edu).

Ever wondered what Sioux Falls and the surrounding area have to offer? The city has hiking, biking, climbing, paddling, skiing and more. Check out our local recommendations for recreation.

Check out bicycles at the Elmen Center using your faculty/staff or student ID. Any bike maintenance questions can be directed to the Augustana Bike Club or Sioux Falls local bike shops.
