Planning an outdoor adventure? The Venture Out Equipment Rental Center can provide you with everything you need to make your next trip a success. We have a great selection of camping gear including tents, sleeping bags, ground pads, backpacks, canoes, stoves, outdoor games, and more.
Venture Out's comprehensive outdoor Equipment Rental Center guarantees quality gear at an unbeatable rate. All equipment listed below is available for rent at the Venture Out Center, located in room 123, on the main floor of Squires Student Center. Reservations are available and are recommended for busy weekends. Reservations are not required, but equipment is rented on a first come first served basis. The rental fee is required at the time of reservation. A deposit is required for each item rented if the renter does not possess a Hokie Passport. The deposit is fully refundable if the equipment is returned in a reasonably clean and undamaged condition. Late fees are associated with late returns. The late fee is usually equivalent to the one day rental rate for each day overdue. We do not give refunds for unused equipment. This includes instances of bad weather or changes in plans.
