Penn Adventure trips can take you to local destinations in the Greater Philadelphia area or outside of the state for more rolling hills and babbling creeks. All trips include transportation, trained staff, food (if applicable), and gear (if applicable). Check out the information below for trips and dates. If you have any questions, reach out to the Adventure Coordinator, Caeley Grady (caeleyg@upenn.edu).

Physical Challenge Scale 

The physical challenge scale is designed to give an idea of the level of physical effort required for your trip and suggest ways to prepare beforehand. However, it does not indicate the recommended experience level, potential risks, pre-trip meetings, or emotional challenges like a fear of heights.
