You don’t have to go to an expensive outdoor outfitter to get gear for your next excursion. At the IU Outdoor Adventures Gear Shop, you can buy, rent, or borrow everything you need for your camping trip, rock climbing expedition, bike outing, or other outdoor activity—all at competitive prices.
We carry equipment and supplies from a wide range of companies, including Columbia, Nalgene, Kleen Kanteen, Wigwam, Mountain Hardwear, Black Diamond, Light My Fire, and Mountain House.
Hours:
Fri.-Sat.: 9 a.m.–12 p.m.
Sunday: 3–6 p.m.
After hours pick-up/drop-off available by appointment and for an additional fee.
All IU students, faculty, and staff receive a 10% discount on personal rentals.
Gear rental reservations can be made on site during our open hours, but drop-in reservations cannot be guaranteed. In order to provide you with the equipment you need, we recommend that your rental request be submitted one week in advance. Payment can be made by credit card, bursar, or check.
