DELTA is an acronym which stands for “Dedicated to Experiential Learning Through Adventure.” This program is a vehicle for delivering adventure education services to the college community and to the public.

Experiential Education is a tradition here at Northwest College. More than twenty five years ago our students began learning how to backpack, rock climb and explore caves. Trips to the Desert Southwest, Yellowstone National Park and other spectacular areas added excitement to the program and gave it distinction. To date more than 3,000 students have entered the world of adventure education through credit courses, workshops, facilitated challenge course activities and expeditions offered at Northwest College.

The Northwest College Recreation Center operates a full-service rock climbing wall for students, faculty, and staff. The climbing wall features vertical and overhanging routes for climbers to practice their technique, hone their skills, and obtain a great workout! Harnesses, climbing shoes, chalk bags, and ropes are available through the Recreation Equipment CO-OP.

The climbing wall is open during all Recreation Equipment CO-OP hours, excluding those when team sports are practicing in the Cabre Gymnasium.
