Historical Note
The Bates Outing Club was founded in 1920 and is the second
oldest organization of its type in the country. Every person of the
Bates College community is technically a member of the club. Its
administation is set up into officers, directors, and a Council
composed of active members. The officers run the administrative
aspects of the club while the directors run the outing activities.
The organization runs trips throughout New England with such
activities as hiking, climbing, skiing, canoeing, and kayaking.
The organization used to run several cabins in Maine, built and
maintained by Outing Club members. The club has also maintained
extensive sections of the Appalachian Trail, and currently
maintains one section.
Every year the club hosts activities such as two Clambakes and
parts of Winter Carnival, which remain popular campus-wide
events.
The club continues to have strong participation from every class
year and remains one of the most popular clubs on campus.
