Get outdoors and experience your own adventure! Rent camping equipment and other outdoor recreation gear from the Rental Center located on the Concourse Level of the ARC next to the climbing wall. Everything you need for camping is offered plus you can get some advice on planning your excursion, what to take, and where to go.
Reservations
UIUC Adventure Recreation can process gear reservations at the Rental Center near the climbing wall in the Activities Recreation Center (ARC) by appointment only. You will be required to pay for the full rental before the reservation can be accepted. Students may only rent gear for themselves unless they are with a student organization.
All rental requests must be submitted no less than 5 days before the date of intended pick-up.
Refunds may be given up to 7 days before the reservation date. If cancellations are outside this window they will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the program Coordinator.
You will receive an email letting you know whether your rental has been approved.
