In the Adventure Club at Alvernia, there is an enjoyable experience waiting for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or just going for a walk. The Club hosts two hikes a month, one at a novice level and one at an advanced level. Hikes are to places of local natural beauty, such as Neversink Mountain or Nolde Forest, as well as the Schuylkyll River trail right outside of campus. Throughout the semester, the club hopes to enrich the college experience and expand the student's appreciation of the natural wonders that lie just outside Alvernia's borders.

Alvernia is a Franciscan university grounded in the Catholic and liberal arts traditions, that combines diverse academic opportunities with personal attention and a commitment to community service. Situated on a 121-acre suburban campus in historic Berks County, Pa., the university supports a rigorous and caring learning community that is home to more than 3,000 students.
