What is REDWOOD?

REDWOOD (Recreational, Educational, Developmental Workshops Out Of Doors) is the outdoor activities organization at Stanford. All undergraduates and graduates are welcome to participate in REDWOOD, regardless of skill level. REDWOOD activities help students develop new friendships, learn leadership and teamwork skills, increase self-awareness and interpersonal skills, develop concern for the environment, and learn lifelong wilderness skills. And lest we forget, they're a blast!

What's New in the REDWOOD Web Page

Request: REDWOOD people (everybody!) I would like to set up some sort of database on this Web page, detailing what your interests are and how to reach you. That way, if someone wants to do a particular trip, he/she can come here to check for others with similar interests. This is not meant to replace the mailing list, but it will supplement it nicely. Please take a moment and read this.
