Day Trips

Join us on an adventure!

UAF-OLLI offers Summer Day Trips that are planned by dedicated community members serving on the Day Trips Committee. They can include tours of local shops and businesses, gardens, farms, industrial plants, bike trips, and so much more! Registering and attending Day Trips is one of the benefits of being an OLLI member!

When do they happen? Sign me up!

Day Trips are typically announced near the end of our Spring semester, advertised on our e-newsletter and Facebook page (check us out!), as well as posted below. You must be signed-in and have an active OLLI membership to see the "Add to Cart" button.

Additional Fees

Some Day Trips require an additional fee that is paid directly to the vendor/business being visited. This can cover car rentals, tour fees, or reservations. They will be stated in the description before you register, and must be paid at the time of the meeting.

Interested in planning the next Summer Day Trip?

Contact the OLLI Office, and we will connect you with the head of the Day Trips Committee! You can check out what they do here.
