Our next weekly planning meeting will be a fun and cozy one in the Academic Commons at 8pm on Thursday February 9th. So grab your mug, come on down and score some free hot chocolate, tea & goodies while sharing the love of your favorite Outing Club! A new trail is born! After more than 14 years of work, Worcester's East Side Trail is finally whole! You can now hike through the woods 3 1/2 miles from the Shores of Lake Quinsigamond on Worcester's eastern border right into the heart of the city on Shrewsbury Street at East Park. Read more on our special East Side Trail page. (9/27/11)
Our incredible welcoming weekend is coming! Last weekend's excitement was hurricane Irene, this weekend it will be the Outing Club! We kick things off at 3PM on Friday with our portable rock climbing wall on the Green at Clark's Student Activities Fair. Then it's a day at the beach in Gloucester on Saturday followed by our big multi-wave hike of Boynton/Cascades Park on Sunday. And if that's not enough, our famed annual fall marshmallow roast Sunday night featuring musical guest Andy Renard will be the perfect icing on the cake. Read all about these and more on our upcoming events page. Thanks to a long holiday weekend, we can all recuperate on Monday! (8/29/11) Don't be surprised if some of our meetings this year become downright tasty, thanks to Jill, our Publicity Chair, and her incredible challenge to bake 500 cupcake recipes in 500 days! You definitely won't want to miss it, and neither do we! Read all the delectable details in Jill's 500 Days of Cupcakes blog. (8/10/11)
The class-of-2015 knocks on our door We were thrilled to meet so many eager Outing Clubbers-to-be at Clark's Admitted Student Open Houses this spring. When you get your new Clark email accounts, be sure to drop us a note and we'll add you to our mailing list. If you missed the open house, never fear! You'll have no trouble finding us at Clark's Student Activites Fair bright and early next fall. (5/15/11) Exciting news for skiers With support from members of Clark's former Ski and Snowboard Club, the Outing Club has officially expanded its repertoire to include downhill ski and snowboard trips in addition to our current cross country ski trips. Our budget has been increased to accommodate these activities, but we'll be looking for more skiers and snowboarders to help plan them. Watch for further announcements next fall. (5/15/11)
First hikes shatter all records! Response to our announcement for our first hike of the season at Peaked Mountain was phenomenal, shattering all prior records and generating an endless wait list! Our 13 hearty hikers who embarked on the trip were greeted by a sunny and hot summer day as they looped their way up and down the mountain, around ponds and along streams, through dark and spooky pine forests, and across bright meadows on their 5-mile hiking adventure. And our longstanding, 8-year record for largest Outing Club trips was broken the following Sunday at Worcester's Boynton/Cascades Park as we pulled out all the stops and organized our 36 eager participants into 3 separate hikes. If you didn't get to join us, don't despair. There are a whole bunch more crowd-pleasing trips in the works this fall! Watch our upcoming events page for complete listings. (9/10/10)

We were overwhelmed by the more than 100 happy faces who huddled around the fire with us Sunday night for our annual fall marshmallow roast.
It was one of our strongest turnouts ever! Combined that with 100 more on Wednesday who ascended our climbing wall on the green and 50 who
turned out for our general interest meeting, and it's been a mega-exciting week for us! Thanks to all who stopped by and made it happen.
