Monarchs, it’s time to get outside! Studies reveal that just 20-30 minutes of outdoor activity can significantly lower stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms. Plus, nature exposure has been linked to better cognitive function, memory, and concentration.
Luckily for you, ODU’s Outdoor Adventure Trips are a great way for Monarchs to boost mood, academic performance, creativity, and connection! Interested in exploring the great outdoors this semester? Check out ODU Rec Well’s trips below!
