When you rent the equipment, we will set up a return time with you. Rental equipment must be returned to a member of the Outdoor Adventure staff, it may not be returned to Member Services.
Please remember to do a visual inspection of all equipment with the OA staff member.
If any equipment is lost or returned damaged, your student account will be charged the full replacement cost. For some equipment this could be over $1,000. If you would like to see a list of replacement costs, please ask the Member Services attendant or the Outdoor Adventures representative.
You will be charged the weekend rental fee each day the equipment is not returned unless special arrangements are made with Frances Steelquist, the Assistant Director of Outdoor Adventures.
