Rental Shop

The Outdoor Recreation Rental Shop is a great resource for students and community members looking to have an outdoor adventure, but don't have the necessary gear. All rental equipment is reliable and in great condition to allow users a fun outdoor experience at an affordable cost. Choose from a selection of outdoor gear to recreational sports equipment.

As of September 30, 2024, due to payment security regulation changes, we no longer take orders or any form of payment over the phone. Reservations for the majority of the equipment in our inventory must be made in person.  If you do not live in the area and would like to make a reservation for one of our larger boating packages, please contact matt.wagner@wsu.edu to arrange reservation and payment.

*As of May 1st, 2023, we no longer accept Cash or Check* 

For adaptive kayaking, the Outdoor Rental Shop maintains a fleet of specialized equipment for programming and student and community users that includes stabilizing outriggers, inflatable cushions, foam positioning pads, universal paddling seat, back of hand grips, wrist adaptation system, and a paddle pivot. Please call 509-335-0104, or e-mail matt.wagner@wsu.edu for more details.
