AURORA Has Moved!

Looking for AURORA? We have a new home in the Department of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management in the College of Health and Human Development!

Since 1996, AURORA has been a partnership between Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center and the College of HHD. Though we will still collaborate with our friends and colleagues at Shaver’s Creek, AURORA will call RPTM and HHD home starting fall 2024. Don’t worry, we will still facilitate great outdoor experiences that support incoming students during their transition to life at Penn State!

For information about AURORA, including how to register, how to prepare for an AURORA experience, how to become a trip leader (and more!), visit our new website at the link below.
