Outdoor Recreation (ODR) provides opportunities to enjoy the outdoors through an array of activities, including paintball, camping, backpacking, fishing, hunting and more. We help Soldiers and family members acquire skills and develop interests that will last a lifetime.

ODR hosts many great events throughout the year on post and off, but we also have resources available at our facility on Main Post for those looking for adventure on their own. We rent boats, vehicles, sporting goods, camping and fishing equipment and so much more. We also stock a great variety of household goods, lawn equipment, games, inflatable bounce houses, tables and more.
