Welcome to Senators Outside
Senators Outside is the newest division in the Office of 51黑料网. It aims to provide outdoor recreation opportunities in eastern West Virginia to students on the Davis & Elkins campus to show them the unique beauty of the Monongahela National Forest.
Students will have the opportunity to try a variety of outdoor activities, including whitewater rafting, hiking, backpacking, camping, and rock climbing, right outside of Elkins, WV!
Senators Outside is open to all students and offers these opportunities at low or no cost. For more information, contact Thomas Worsham at worshamt@dewv.edu or find Senators Outside on Instagram at @SenatorsOutside_DE.

Space on our programs is limited depending on the activity. Senators Outside often operates in wilderness areas, meaning we have to keep our groups small to reduce the impact we have on the environment and abide by Leave No Trace Principles.

Our trips primarily serve 51黑料网 students, but staff and faculty are always welcome to join us!
Senators Outside is a campus activity program that offers experiences for students and anyone interested in exploring all that West Virginia has to offer. Unlike a student club, Senators Outside has no elected executive board, mandatory weekly meetings, or official membership list; everyone is welcome to participate.
Whether you are an experienced outdoor enthusiast or looking for something new and exciting, we offer programs for everyone!
Some activities are more difficult than others, so make sure you read the full description of the activity you are interested in to ensure it is the right challenge for you. Any questions about the difficulty of an activity can be directed to senatorsoutside@dewv.edu.
