WOC-ly OUTING CLUB CALENDAR Feb. 7- Feb. 19, 2023 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 Heating Up Feb 16-18! A 3-day extravaganza! On Thursday, campus will explode in light from fireworks, and Williamstown will transform into a magical winter wonderland. On Friday & Saturday, the Williams alpine and nordic ski teams are hosting teams from far and wide to race, so be sure to cheer them on or stop by for food, skiing, snowball fights, & more. Other events include skating, a trike race, and a themed dinner. This year's theme is 100 DegreEPHs, so get ready for summer in winter! Meal Swipes for Winter Carnival Cookout On Friday, we will have a huge grill cookout, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
