Equipment Rentals
The WSU Outdoor Education and Recreation Center has a variety of camping, climbing and other outdoor equipment available to rent.
WSU students, WSU employees and community members alike can rent equipment. It’s an easy and affordable way to enjoy all the natural beauty around us and try new outdoor recreation activities.
Email michael.henderson@winona.edu at least 48 hours in advance of the date you want to pick up the equipment.
Your email request should include:
- Name of responsible renter
- Home address
- Phone number
- Email address
All individuals named on the contract must be present at the time of pickup.
Reservation requests do not guarantee an order, as equipment is subject to availability. Watch for an email to confirm your equipment rental.
You will need to make the full payment for your rental prior to pick-up. You’ll receive an online invoice from the OERC with payment instructions.
The WSU OERC reserves the right to refuse service or revoke rental privileges to any individual(s).
We want you to play longer and worry less with 2-day rentals for the price of one. Pick up anytime today and return it by 5pm tomorrow.
