The OAC is a student-run organization which promotes the seeking of adventure outside of the classroom. We’re a community of hikers, climbers, mountaineers, skiiers, kayakers, slackliners, backpackers, etc. who share a passion for exploring the great outdoors of the Midwest and beyond. We organize trips throughout the country and supply individuals with the gear and resources necessary for their own ventures. The OAC is open to both undergrad and graduate students. Join us on our next expedition, or let us outfit you for yours! 

Local Trips: Starved Rock State Park, Indiana Dunes National Park, Kayaking the Chicago River, etc.

Cross-Country Trips: Arches NP, Great Smoky Mountains NP, White Sands NP, etc.

Socials: Bonfires at the Point, Movie Nights, Snowball Fights
