September Trips Meeting

Image

Welcome climbers, hikers, mountaineers, and general outdoor enthusiasts!

Fall is the perfect time to get outdoors, whether you want to mountain bike, backpack, climb, or just take a leisurely hike. To kick off the Fall semester we will have our first Trips Planning Meeting at 9:00pm on Wednesday, September 24th held in the upstairs study room at the Campus Club. This year we will be holding these meetings consistently on the last Wednesday of the month, so mark your calendars now!

At these meetings, those interested in leading a trip propose their idea and those interested in going on it can then sign up. A lot of times the trips fill up at the meeting and are never advertised on the mailing list, so your best chance to be a part of these awesome adventures is to come to the meetings!

For those interested in leading a trip, but need help forming an idea or maybe want to find someone to co-lead a trip with, come at 8:30 and we will have a couple of PUMC leaders there with maps and suggestions to help make your trip a success.

Hope to see you all there!
~PUMC Committee
