Outings with the Wesleyan Outing Club

EPIC FOURSQUARE
Your favorite outing ever (EVER!) is back and better (SO MUCH BETTER!) than ever. Come to the Outhouse driveway at 3 on Friday for a fun game, or one so vicious that your sixth-grade self would have cowered under the monkey bars. There might even be lemonade and cookies afterward.

PADDLE AT DUSK
Unwind with a leisurely paddle at Miller’s Pond this Friday April 25th. We will be meeting at Outhouse at 5pm and will take out kayaks and canoes. No experience necessary and please bring a car if you have one. RSVP to eogata@wes.

RUN TO WADSWORTH
Out and back run to Wadsworth Falls State Park - possibility for swimming or wading About 4 miles round trip, though people could turn back whenever. Definitely conversational pace. Meet at Freeman Saturday April 26^th at 10am. Email akomor@wes with questions.

They will be leaving Outhouse at 7:45 am sharp on Monday April 28th for a quick dip in the pond (waters already tested and safety approved). Returning to campus at nine so that those with classes can go, those without can have a delightful post-swim breakfast at O'Rourke's. Email oriana.korol@gmail with questions.

SPRING CLEANING
What: Plants? Trees? Connecticut Forests?
When: Thursday, May 8th, 1 - 4pm
Where: The CFPA (Conn. Forest and Park Ass.)
Why: Refreshments included!
AND BECAUSE
The Connecticut Forest and Park Association is the organization behind most of Connecticut's forests and parks (imagine that!). The roots between the Wesleyan Outing Club and the CFPA run deep (a member of our club blazing many of their trails at one point) but recently the leaves have fallen from our relationship. They need some spring cleaning of the land around their headquarters and would like this event to fertilize a renewed partnership. The board member who works the gardens is a retired professor from Connecticut College; she will be pointing out and explaining all the plants and trees she has planted. We will also have the chance to browse the indoors of their headquarters, getting ideas for future projects. Please respond by email if you are interested oriana.korol@gmail. We will meet at Outhouse at 12:45 on Thursday, May 8th, one extra car will be needed.

ROLLERBLADING
High noon, Saturday. RSVP wesoutingclub@gmail

We are having the last Outing Club meeting of the year next Wednesday (April 30^th)! All are welcome. Come over to Outhouse at 10pm.

Outing Club events

We know you are probably swamped with midterms and papers so we scheduled a hike at a time you all can make it! 

O'ROURKE'S AND AN ALPINE START (does it get any better?!)

Shake off those midterm blues with an alpine start to Miller's Pond! This Thursday, march 6, get up before the sun and meet us at outhouse (132 high st.) at 5:45 AM for the hike. If you're feeling really peppy, meet us at 5Am, same place, to go get pancakes and gees beforehand at O'Rourke's. Email ehealey@wes if you want to come, and please mention if you'll have access to a car. 

Also, good luck to the spring break trip to their lovely cabin in New Hampshire! Stay warm. And good luck to the rest of you on your own adventures over break!
