Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
The Grand Canyon University Outdoor Recreation program exists to serve the students of GCU by providing a gateway into outdoor recreation that engages both individuals and groups in adventure, fellowship, environmental stewardship, leadership development, and outdoor education. We will advance relationships through these outlets and strive to provide a positive experience for students while fueling the endless adventures that occur in God's creation that help challenge students physically, spiritually, and mentally.

Membership Benefits
For just $30, members receive a garden plot for the entire year, with the option to have up to three plots. Each plot includes automatic irrigation, and garden staff are available to provide guidance and assistance whenever you need it. Membership also includes access to free classes and workshops, including gardening basics, pickling, tea blending, and other fun hands-on activities. The campus garden is more than just a place to grow food—it is an awesome space to relax, hang out, connect with others, and enjoy the outdoors. Depending on the season, members can grow a variety of vegetables that thrive in Phoenix, including lettuce, spinach, kale, carrots, radishes, beets, onions, tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and more. Members also have year-round access to fresh herbs and fruit trees throughout the garden, making it a great place to grow, learn, and enjoy fresh produce right on campus.
