Camping Trips

Camping trips are typically weekend or three day trips and tend to be demanding. Club members can rent tents, backpacks, sleeping-bags and stoves for a nominal fee from the Columbia coop (coop@columbia.edu). Camping trips have a signup fee of $20/day that includes food. Camping trips typically are to the Catskills, Adirondacks and the White Mountains. Please contact the organizers if you are interested in organizing a trip.
