Bowdoin Outing Club embarks on a year of adventures in Maine

The fall is upon us, and the Bowdoin Outing Club is already in full gear with trips, classes, and other great ways to get outside. There are some splendid trips going out next weekend, so take full advantage of the chance to get off campus and see some of this beautiful state.
BOC's last Katahdin weekend of the fall is heading to highest point in Maine next Friday. The hikers will spend Saturday and Sunday day-hiking in Baxter State Park and hopefully will summit Katahdin on Sunday. First-years: you'll soon get tired of campus-wides and will regret your choice not to see a truly amazing part of the state.
Next Saturday, seniors Carly Smith and Katie Irving are leading a sea kayak trip to Quahog Bay. Kayaking is a mellow way to spend a day outside and see some of Maine's beautiful coastline. Spots on sea kayaking trips fill up fast, so don't miss your chance to spend a day out paddling.
On Sunday, Dan Abraham '04, Sam Kolins '06, and Alla Lescure '06 are leading a flatwater canoe trip to an undisclosed but surely tremendous location. The weather should be good and work can definitely be put off for at least another day or two, so be sure to come out.
There will be several Common Good Day trips going out on Saturday, October 4, so be sure to sign up and do something good for our mother earth. Don't book those plane tickets for Tijuana just yet either, because spring break trips are also in the works.
Signing up for trips is easy-just come by the Outdoor Leadership Center (across from 40 College Street and Dayton Arena) on any Monday morning to check out the list detailing the following weekend's trips.
Why do kayakers make such great lovers? Because they can roll over without falling out. Learn how to do just that at the pool roll sessions every Wednesday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Other classes will be starting soon, so stay tuned.
The gear room is open Sunday, Monday, and Thursday between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. and Friday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. BOC members can return or check out gear for their weekend adventures.
The OLC will also be open from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday
for anyone who wants to study, hang out, or just make out in the map room.
The new building is a great space to study, so get out of the library
and come visit.
