The Wiesbaden Outdoor Recreation is now located in its state-of-the-art facility in Building 3400 on Clay North. The new ODR center houses the customer service hub along with their equipment, two classrooms, full service bicycle and ski shops along with ODR parks and picnic grounds available for Organization Days and private parties.
“If you are seeking adventure and exploration, join ODR. We offer year-round adventure programs, cultural tours, educational classes, leisure travel trips along with private tours to destination locations throughout Europe,” Joseph Harris, ODR facility manager, said.
He said that even though ODR teaches life-long skills, it also provides educational, certifications and hunting, fishing and sport shooting and many other programs throughout the year.
“Soldiers and military units assigned to, or stationed at USAG Wiesbaden, are able to participate in the Warrior Adventure Quest programs hosted by ODR,” Harris said.
Community members can enjoy a wide selection of camping and other equipment including bicycles, canopies, dunk tank, grills, skis, snowboards, tents and much more.
