🗺️ Do you want to go on adventures big and small this fall? Do you want to go on trips (if you're a participant) or help us put together a bunch of back-to-school trips (big and small, local and not-so-local) to introduce new folks to MITOC this fall?!?!
🧠 Join us at a MITOC trip planning social on Wednesday, September 09 from 7-8pm in-person at MIT (location TBD)
🍕Everyone is welcome! This event aims to connect more experienced leaders with new ones as well as people who are less involved and curious about the club. There will be food, definitely vegetarian, and probably pizza because we have a finite budget.
This social will happen directly after the 3-season Hiking Leader Training, but you don't need to attend the training to join the social.
What Is a MITOC Trip Planning Social?
New to New England and eager to explore the outdoors? Want to meet cool new folks or catch up with friends and scheme new summer schemes together? Super excited to get outside but don’t have a car? Want to organize a MITOC trip but not sure what’s the next step? Looking for new gym or crag climbing partners?
This event is open to all MITOC members, although we particularly encourage new MITOC leaders and folks who eventually want to become MITOC leaders to join. If you are an undergrad or grad student MITOC member and you are not sure what the club does, you are welcome to join as well!
What kind of trips are we planning? Any kind: hiking, climbing, trail running, backpacking, mountain biking, fly fishing, canoeing, bikepacking, local microadventures, and more!
Hiking and climbing leaders can use this opportunity to plan an official MITOC trip, find a co-leader and even recruit some participants.
