The Southwest Adventure Team is a school-sponsored, student-led group dedicated to exploring and creating adventures in the great outdoors. The primary purpose of the Southwest Adventure Team is to provide regular outdoor activities, promote interest in outdoor activities, and encourage the practice of limited-impact outdoor ethics for Southwest Virginia Community College students, faculty, and staff. We practice “safety first” and “Leave No Trace” values, and we also include a few tips on outdoor survival skills, map reading/GPS, and first aid.
