The BOC runs everything from local walks, to backpacking weekends, to local bike rides, to kayaking, to day hikes, to climbing, to skiing, and everything in between! The fall break and spring break backpacking trips are the BOC’s longest trips, going to Adirondack, the Blue Ridge, and the White Mountains in recent years. Some of our most popular trips are our short walks and outdoor social events. Several subsidized ski trips take place every winter, and local whitewater rafting trips occur in the spring and fall.
Every year, the club offers classes in climbing and backpacking skills. The BOC also runs periodic service trips to improve the public’s experience in the outdoors, especially in Rhode Island.
This year, we will be bringing back our practice of hosting movie screenings, lectures, and workshops about outdoors-related topics and issues.
If you’re interested in the community, challenge, and regeneration that the outdoors offer, join our mailing list that includes over 3,000 members of the Brown community—faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students included.
