"Outdoor Climbing at Palisades"

The Outdoor Program at the SDState Wellness Center is a comprehensive outdoor recreation program dedicated to providing the students and community affiliates of South Dakota State University an outlet to become involved in the numerous outdoor opportunities at the Miller Wellness Center, within South Dakota, and surrounding states.

The Outdoor Program oversees the Miller Wellness Center climbing wall and outdoor gear rentals. Both of these programs are designed to provide students and community members the opportunity to develop the skills and means to recreate outdoors in a safe, exciting, and sustainable manner.
