Who are we?
A member-driven sports club, composed of diverse, open-minded individuals who share a common interest: the outdoors!

What do we do?
Our trips include, but are not limited to: backpacking, skiing/snowboard, camping, canoeing, caving, kayaking sea and whitewater, mtn. biking, rafting, and whatever else you can think of. We highly encourage members to lead trips.

It also allows you a discounted rental rate for personal gear from the UT Outdoor Center for your own personal adventures. Membership entails our bi-annual club getaways, social events of enormous magnitude. And your club membership allows you to other benefits such as first priority on large, planned trips, and of course the opportunity to meet new and exciting people.
