About the Outdoor Club
In our seventh year, the Outdoor Club has been a highly successful, student driven organization that is centered around outdoor activities. Over the past few years we have been caving in Jackson County, hiking in the Smoky Mountains, rock climbing in RRG, skiing at Perfect North, and much more. This year’s major activities include: Camping Clinics, Hiking, Rock Climbing, Caving, Downhill Skiing, and Rappelling. Many of our activities will be day trips on a Saturday or Sunday, but several of our trips will include overnight camping in Red River Gorge. Please stop by room 125 to view a detailed list of dates and sign up information (all events are first come first serve). As a member of the club you are not obligated to precipitate in all activities, but why miss out on all the fun. This would be a great way to make new friends in school and having fun while doing it.

A word from our sponsor…
The Outdoors Club is a great place for all students to get involved. We offer exciting events that challenge all young adults, regardless of their athletic ability or outdoor skills. The club is also a great place for students to become acquainted with outdoor activities. Many of the students and adults are experts in camping, climbing, skiing, and much more. They are all excited to share their knowledge, personal experiences, and equipment with others. Club members are encouraged to help plan and organize specific events, especially their favorite activities. Due to the inherent nature of outdoor activities, there is an element of danger in many of the things we do. As a sponsor and avid outdoorsman myself, I require safety to be the primary focus. To ensure this, we always have adequate supervision and expertise on hand at all times. We never attempt an activity unless someone there is highly experienced or qualified. We also encourage parents and other adults to not only get involved, but ask if there are any questions or concerns with safety. By making safety first, we not only come home in one piece, we have fun.
