WOC-ly OUTING CLUB CALENDAR

May 10 - May 15, 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

Are you able to lend gear to WOOLF leaders? 

Many of our WOOLF leaders for Fall ‘22  don’t have their own gear, so we’re looking for YOUR help (ALL WOC equipment goes to incoming students on WOOLF)

Please consider lending gear (hiking backpacks, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, rain jackets, etc) for WOOLF leaders to use 8/3-9/6. We will match you with a leader who needs gear you can provide, we will give them your email address and they will be responsible for arranging how to get the gear. We trust that our leaders will care for your gear properly!   The form can be found here, and is due SUNDAY, MAY 15th.   Thank you in advance for your generosity.  WOOLF sincerely appreciates you
