The Outdoor Recreation (ODR) Office is very diverse.  We offer rental equipment to support your warm and cold weather activities.  This includes rental trailers, vans, games, canopies, party bouncers, camping equipment, kayaks, standup paddle boards, skis, snowboards, and a few power tools.  We also offer a few pieces of exercise equipment for check out, free of charge.  

These rental and loan items are also used for Outdoor Adventure Programming (OAP).  Our OAP program is available all year long,  but is most active in the coldest and warmest of months of the year.

 

During the colder months, the city of Stavanger is wetter and milder than most. However, two hours southeast of the city is Sirdal Valley, home to four of the closest ski centers. The winter sports season typically ranges from January to April.  During this season the OAP programming includes lessons in cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, as well as, outing for alpine skiers and snowboarders.

 

In the summer, OAP trips typically range from May to September depending on the weather pattern.  Our warm weather OAP programming offers sea kayak and stand up paddleboard lessons; hiking and biking tours; and orienteering outings.
