About us

Adventures beyond the BU campus

Since 1963

Escape the city, go somewhere wild

For six decades, the Boston University Outing Club has helped thousands of students escape the city and get into the wild. We hike, ski, climb, ice climb, camp, kayak, and do just about anything else our members want to. From urban explorations to trekking the White Mountains, we take our adventures beyond the BU campus. If you want affordable, fun trips, you're in the right place.
