The UMass Lowell (UML) Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP) works closely with several community partners to offer programs to our students, faculty, staff and alumni. In some cases we have negotiated special opportunities or discounted rates that apply for the UMass Lowell Community on an ongoing basis. We are always trying to grow this offering. If you have ideas or want to be a community partner, please email: Kate_Ford@uml.edu or email: Kevin_Soleil@uml.edu.
