Outdoor Pursuits
Equipment Rental
Outdoor Pursuits operates to provide the University of Kansas community the opportunity to rent outdoor equipment. Outdoor Pursuits offers different types of camping, backpacking, canoes, and sit-on-top kayaks to rent to Students, Faculty and Staff.
Rental Rates
The Outdoor Pursuits rents camping equipment for the occasional weekend camping to the more extreme multi-day backpacker. The Outdoor Pursuits staff can assist in selecting the appropriate equipment for any outdoor adventure. See price sheet below.
How it works
Equipment is checked out for a daily, weekend or week rate. Daily rates will have to return gear by closing the next day. Weekend rates will be checked out on Friday and returned by Monday at close (or earlier). Week rate is a week from the date the gear is checked out.
Late Fees
Late fees are assessed 1.5 times the daily rate, for every day the equipment is returned late.
Reservations
Reservation may be made up to one week in advance, must be made in person and paid in full. No refunds will be given - NO EXCEPTIONS.
Incidental Fees
Cleaning Charges
All equipment must be returned clean and in good condition with all parts or a $15 cleaning fee will be charged. If equipment is returned without all the parts, a replacement fee will be assessed. This includes gear subjected to rain or water.
Replacement/Damage Charges
Staff can provide a complete list of replacement and damage charges. Most common charges are for tent stakes and sleeping pad fasteners. Please don't lose them.
