WOC-ly OUTING CLUB CALENDAR

February 7 - February 13, 2022

Hello WOC family! Come check out some of the awesome outdoor events we have
going on this week. All events are open to the Williams College community.


Announcements



Winter Carnival is coming SOON! Feb 17th-19th!

If you haven’t already heard about the most anticipated event of the season
by this point, what are you doing?! Winter Carnival, a three day wintery
outdoors-focused extravaganza is going to be here before you know it. To
hear more about the event, stop by Paresky on Feb 11-13 between 11am and
2pm where WOC will be tabling. There, you can pick up a free button and
sticker, sign up for lunch/buses, AND see the Winter Carnival event
calendar for the first time! See the sticker design (by Hannah Bae) below :)


Sign up for your lunch during Winter Carnival!

The main event of Winter Carnival will take place midday on Friday,
February 18th at Mt. Prospect with cross country skiing, snowshoeing,
sledding, snowballs, music, a grill, and more! Lunch will include a grilled
feast of burgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, chips, and more! In order to
have enough food for everyone for lunch, we need YOUR help!!!!!!!!!

We need a student ID number for every student eating lunch at Prospect in
order to get the correct amount of food from dining services. If you are
considering going to Prospect for Winter Carnival on Friday, Feb 18th, please
fill out this quick form. <https://forms.gle/2SMcxf94Vgo1DbbS7> If you are
not going but know you will have extra swipes that week, you can donate a
swipe so we have food for those who forget/aren’t on the meal plan! (You do
not need to fill out this form to go to Prospect, but we much prefer to
have your ID number so we can get enough food!)


Davis Center Social Change Film Series At 7:30 pm at Images on Tuesday
2/15, the Davis Center, in collaboration with WOC, will be screening An
American Ascent, a film about the first African-American expedition to
climb Denali, North America’s highest peak. Following the film, there will
be a talkback with Dragonsky, a queer Black woman who recently completed
the AT and plans to become the second Black woman to acheive a triple crown
(thru-hiking the AT, PCT, and CDT).



Davis Center Lunch and Learn Series From 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm in Jenness
House Living Room on Wednesday 2/16, the Davis Center will be hosting a
talk by Dragonsky about thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2021.

are some cool cats”? Well then this leisurely walk is for you! Meet at
Paresky at 10:00am. Return to campus by about 12pm. We will be walking
along Route 2 which will entail cars, road noise, etc., but the Spruces
area itself is quieter. Sign up on this form

Learn to Nordic ski! Ever wanted to learn how to cross country ski but
didn’t have the chance to take the PE class? Maybe you’ve gone once but
want to give it another try! Well, lucky you. We will meet at the equipment
room in downstairs Paresky at 1:30 pm on Saturday before driving to
Prospect Mountain. (There is a $10 fee for the mountain). Expect to return
to campus by 5 pm at the latest. Please sign up on this form
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FDlXpFj62Q--5J3svBL_2s5vbpl_cR0eVLLnZybAbSo/edit#gid=510115274>

any questions!

Mt. Prospect Hike!
