The Middlebury Mountain Club (MMC) is Middlebury’s largest and oldest student organization. Founded in 1931 as a rebirth of the Outing Club established in 1916, the club remains entirely organized and operated by students. The MMC sponsors and encourages Middlebury students to experience and enjoy the out-of-doors responsibly, offering year-round activities throughout Vermont, the Adirondacks, and beyond.
The Mountain Club leads hiking, boating, climbing, and winter trips free of cost for Middlebury students. Additionally, we reimburse or host classes and workshops, host screenings, do trail maintenance, and host social events at the outdoor house.
We encourage people both join us in wild ventures and explore the great outdoors on their own or with friends.
