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 rock-climbing trips to New Hampshire 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.
If you’re interested in the community, challenge, and regeneration that the outdoors offer, join our mailing list that includes over 2000 members of the Brown community—faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students included.
COVID-19 Update: As of Fall 2020, all in-person BOC trips are cancelled and the BOC Gear Room is not open for renting gear. Join our email list to stay tuned on how we’re still engaging with the community!
