Adventure Leadership

The Adventure Leadership Rental Center is reopening this month at our new location at 613 S. Fifth Avenue.

Planning an outdoor adventure doesn’t have to include an expensive trip to the nearest outfitter. Just rent from us instead! We offer inspected and dependable equipment like tents, lanterns, kayaks, canoes, skis and lots more. We even have everything you need to throw a great outdoor party.

How to Reserve Equipment

Our Gear Rental Program is currently in storage due to the construction of the new residence halls on Elbel Field. We plan to re-open in a temporary facility in mid to late Fall. In the meantime, you are welcome to review the list of equipment.

  1. Look at our list of equipment to decide what you’ll need.
  2. Ready to rent outdoor adventure equipment (gear)? Please fill out the Request Equipment Form. We will get back to you soon about your request. Call us at (734) 764‑3967 or email us at adventureleadership@umich.edu with additional questions.
  3. To pick up your equipment, you must be 18 years or older and bring a photo ID. Once your return date arrives, return your equipment cleaned, dried, and packed.

A $5 convenience fee is charged for equipment reserved in advance over the phone. Review all our Rental Policies before you pick up your equipment.
