<p>There is a very active Outdoors Program at Willamette: [Campus</a> Recreation: Outdoor Program | Willamette University](<a href=“http://www.willamette.edu/dept/campusrec/outdoor/index.html]Campus”>http://www.willamette.edu/dept/campusrec/outdoor/index.html)</p>
<p>They offer outings every weekend. Snowboarding and skiing is only an hour or so drive from the campus, and the Outdoors Program frequently provides a shuttle services for ski and snowboarding trips. In addition, the student-run Backpacking club often advertises snowshoe hikes in a wide range of areas during the winter. (The only reason I know this is because my son is vice-president of the backpacking club.) </p>
<p>If your son or daughter is interested in snow sports, there will be many opportunities at Willamette.</p>
