Adventure Movie Nights
Kamloops is a hub for outdoor recreation, with a strong community built around mountain biking, paddling, skiing, climbing, and more. The TRU Students’ Union hosts Adventure Movie Nights to celebrate this spirit of adventure and give back to the community. These events bring campus and locals together through film, with proceeds supporting financial awards for students in the TRU Adventure Program and funding for local organizations that foster outdoor adventure.
Adventure Movie Nights are hosted in partnership with organizations like the Sun Peaks Freestyle Club, Cliffside Climbing Gym, and Kamloops Search and Rescue. Each screening features a high-energy film that highlights a seasonal sport and builds excitement in the lead-up to its season. Proceeds are shared between local partners and the TRU Foundation, contributing to a growing and vibrant outdoor adventure community in Kamloops. Join us at our next Adventure Movie Night to watch a fun film while supporting our growing outdoor adventure community.
