General Interest Meeting draws whopping turnout!
Smack in the dead of winter, we weren't expecting a whole sea of new faces at Sunday night's general interest meeting... but oh were we surprised!
As our ranks swelled to nearly 30, our ever-expanding circle got bigger and bigger and new ideas were flowing like rapids. If you were there, we
hope to see you again soon! (1/25/10)
Wrapping up an epoch fall semester!
We pulled out all the stops this semester and it shows! Our 23 club-sponsored fall trips were 50% more than each of the last 3 years, and our
total trip attendance of 214 was also a huge gain. Add to that our marshmallow roast, climbing wall on the green, and other on-campus events,
and it's no wonder that we're ready for a break. But don't wander off too far; spring semester is right around the corner and we'll be back
in full swing soon! (12/20/09)
Outing Club chosen Student Organization of the Month!
Break out the (non-alcoholic) champagne, because we've been selected as October's Student Organization of the Month by the Student Council
Organizational Committee! Thanks to everyone who joined us on our trips and helped make our award possible. It brings us one step closer to our
ultimate goal of someday winning the coveted Nobel Outing Prize. (11/17/09)
A foggy pumpkin patch at Breezy Gardens in Leicester was just one stop in last weekend's action-packed Outing Club itinerary. Following
our pumpkin picking extravaganza, we stopped to chat with llamas and goats before rounding out our Saturday afternoon with a hike at the nearby Burncoat Pond
wildlife sanctuary. On Sunday we hosted two trail riding adventures at Ridge Valley Stables in Grafton and our weekly Nature Connection hike at the beautiful
West Thompson Lake in Connecticut. The whole affair was proof that you can never get too much of a good thing!(10/26/09)

Let's get this party started!
Our climbing wall from Central Rock made a huge splash on the Green at
Friday's Student Activities Fair! Scores of Clarkies made the ascent to the top while 155 new students joined our mailing list! We
couldn't have asked for a better day and loved meeting everyone. Our next big splash is our welcoming weekend, which
includes a hike of Worcester's Boynton/Cascades Park on Saturday the 12th and a bouldering trip to Lincoln Woods, RI on Sunday the 13th,
followed by our General Interest Meeting Sunday night at 7PM. Our annual kick-off marshmallow roast between Goddard Library and Bullock
Hall has been rescheduled to Friday Sept. 18th at 7:30PM. Don't miss all the action... we'll be looking for you!

Marshmallows Galore
An Outing Club tradition lives on! Once again, our annual end
of the year marshmallow roast was a huge hit. Over the course of three hours, scores of Outing Clubbers and friends wandered into the
"forest" between Bullock Hall and the library to roast a marshmallow with us, hang out by the fire, and celebrate the last day of classes.
We extend our deepest thanks to all who stopped by. It was the perfect ending to an amazing year.

Team Outing Club relays for life
Team Outing Club was out in force on the morning of April 25th for final laps of Clark's first ever
Relay for Life event to benefit the American
Cancer Society. Still going strong after 18 hours of walking, our team of twelve Outing Clubbers raised over $1,300 of the event's $19,000 total amount.
Thanks to everyone who supported us. We couldn't have done it without you. See more photos on our past events page.

Why is Jeff chopping down the tree?
He's helping the Massachusetts Audubon Society create a meadow at Worcester's Broad Meadow Brook
Wildlife Sanctuary to provide mating habitat for the American Woodcock. A contingent of Outing Clubbers volunteered at
Broad Meadow Brook and at the Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary in
Princeton during spring break.
