Adventures

A!dventures brings adventure sports more accessible to students. We do everything outdoors, from multisport and ice climbing to just heading outdoors to enjoy camping and hiking. Some of our highlight events include tryouts for kayaking and orienteering and our annual main event is Wappu in the Woods: One day and one night camping in the woods, good company, and tasty food just before Wappu. We also participate in various sporting events, such as trail marathons and the Jukola relay, and collaborate with other Aalto sports clubs to organize trips and events like Aalto City Challenge. You are also welcomed to join our After Work events, which include activities such as paddling, bouldering, and jogging.
