This study aims to evaluate the impact of the Outdoor Education Program on the anxiety levels of sports students in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with an experimental pretest-posttest design, the research included 120 participants, both male and female, aged 18 to 20 years, from sports faculties at the State University of Surabaya, the State University of Yogyakarta, and the Indonesian University of Education. Data collection to assess anxiety levels was conducted through a questionnaire. Validity testing showed all statements were valid, with Pearson Correlation values greater than 0.05, and reliability testing indicated that all items were reliable, with Cronbach's Alpha values exceeding 0.6. Questionnaires were administered via Google Forms before and after the outdoor education program. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS 25. The Wilcoxon test results showed a Sig value greater than 0.05, and the mean posttest score (34.58) was lower than the pretest score (55.66). The study concluded that the Outdoor Education Program significantly reduces anxiety levels in sports students in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to explore the program's effects on students' self-confidence, motivation, responsibility, and discipline.
