Outdoor Equipment Check Out & Rental

Belmont’s location in Middle Tennessee allows students to take advantage of the great outdoors most of the year. To take advantage of this students have the opportunity to rent the equipment necessary for their next adventure. In addition to the outdoor gear, students are encouraged to take advantage of the plentiful grass on Belmont’s campus by checking out games and playing with friends. 

Equipment Rentals

*Outdoor gear will be unavailable to rent during Summer '24 due to staffing. The service will return this Fall*

Outdoor Recreation provides an equipment rental service to the students in the hopes that students will take advantage of the beautiful outdoor areas in middle Tennessee and create their own outdoor adventure. Equipment offered to the students include tents, sleeping bags, ground pads, and backpacks. Climbing shoes are also available. Want to go on an adventure but don’t know where to start? Our Climbing Assistants and Outdoor Recreation Coordinators are experienced outdoors people and can provide tips and advice for your next trip  

An appointment must be made with a member of our staff to go over the equipment that you have selected to check out to ensure the proper use and care of our gear. After submitting this form, you will be contacted by phone, or email, to set up an appointment before your trip. Please allow 72 hours notice so that our staff can coordinate a time to meet with you during FitRec’s hours which can be found on our website. Equipment can only be picked up and returned by appointment. 

You may choose to take your equipment with you after your appointment or we will gladly store your gear until you are ready to depart for your trip. Your payment will be processed at the Beaman Information Desk when you check out your equipment. Rental fees are charged as a full day both on the days you check out the equipment as well as when you return it. 

If you have questions, please contact Peter Loomis at peter.loomis@belmont.edu or by calling 615.460.5056.
