URI Outing Club
What is the Outing Club?
We are a student senate-recognized organization run by students for students! Our mission is to get students outdoors and off campus. We host a variety of outings including but not limited to skiing, backpacking, kayaking, rock climbing, etc. No experience is necessary and we provide all the equipment/transportation needed!
Why should I join?
Expand your outdoors skills, meet new people, get off campus, and explore Rhode Island and greater New England. See what our members have to say about Outing Club below!
