Do you want to help co-lead hikes with us this fall? Do you want to learn what being a MITOC hiking leader is all about? In order to become a 3-Season Hiking Co-Leader, you should attend a 3S Safety & Training seminars:

The September seminar will be on Tuesday, September 23rd at 6:00PM - 7:00PM in person on MIT campus in 3-442 and over zoom.

To become a 3-season co-leader with MITOC you will need to:

  • Participate in at least 2 official MITOC hiking trips

  • Attend a 3-season hiking Safety & Training Seminar

  • Submit an application at mitoc-trips.mit.edu/hiking/leaders/apply

You can move from a co-leader to full leader status after leading 2 hikes as co-leader and receiving upgrade recommendations from full leaders on these trips. We will also assign full-leader status on a case-by-case evaluation of previous outdoor leadership expertise, including your leader rating from Winter School, if applicable. Read more here.
