Spring Break – West Virginia!
Come to Franklin, WV with the Syracuse University Outing Club for up to 11 days of amazing trips, and nights in heated cabins with all the amenities.
The price in the past few years has been roughly $160, covering lodging expenses and transportation there and back. Drivers who make the trip both ways with full vehicles (either people or equipment) pay $90 for the cabins and we reimburse your gas.
Everyday we have trips going rock climbing, whitewater kayaking, hiking, biking, and backpacking. Or if you are in the mood, just relax and enjoy a week in the 65+ degree weather in a very scenic area.
Not really an outdoor person? You don’t need any experience or equipment before coming on spring break, we provide the gear and expertise you need to have an amazing time. On the other hand, if you do have experience there are always advanced trips going out, and Spring Break is a great time to get your leadership!
An informational meeting for the trip will be held on Tuesday, February 23rd during the regular club meeting.
