Who Are We?

SUOC is an entirely student-run club, with members from the entire university community. We’re a group of outdoor enthusiasts, having fun doing the things we love and teaching the next generation of adventurers.

A list of current officers and trip leaders can be found here.

What Do We Do?

We run trips every single week, going hiking, backpacking, mountaineering, rock and ice climbing, horizontal and vertical caving, canoeing, whitewater kayaking, cross-country and backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking, and more all throughout New York.

Can I Come?

Absolutely – and there’s no experience necessary! We offer trips for everyone, ranging from complete beginners to expert outdoorsmen. In addition, we also provide all necessary instruction and equipment that you’ll need for all of our trips.

How much does it cost?

Membership for is a flat fee of ONLY $20 for the WHOLE year, or $15 for one semester. You don’t have to pay your membership until after your first trip – so you can make up your mind after you get outside with us!

Trips are FREE – we just ask you pitch in a few dollars for gas! As a member, there is NO cost to use our gear on our trips!
