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, backpacking, boating, climbing, and skiing trips free of cost for Middlebury students. Additionally, we host a variety of social events, screenings, and presentations, do trail maintenance, and lead break trips across the country.
We encourage students to join us in exploring and enjoying the great outdoors, and we aim to foster confidence in outdoor skills through education. To hear about upcoming adventures and happenings, join our newsletter mailing list at go/mountainmail/, check out our Instagram @middmountainclub, or check out our website at middleburymountainclub.org.
