History/What We Do Contact Us

The Venture program began in the fall of

1971. A steering committee appointed
by the Chancellor chose to send a pilot
group from UNC Charlotte through the
9201 University City
North Carolina Outward Bound School. Blvd.
Fifteen UNC Charlotte students,
225 Cone University
faculty, and staff participated in a two-
week wilderness experience, traveling
Center Come Join Us
into the Linville Gorge area and the
Great Smokies. They learned skills in
backpacking, rock climbing, map and
compass reading, bushwhacking, first
aid, and leadership. The pilot program
was a success and the Office of Student
Affairs developed the Venture program
independent of Outward Bound.

Since that time, Venture has continued

to grow and expand into a unique
experiential learning program.
