outing club
An outing club or outdoors club is a student society centered on outdoor recreation. Outing clubs provide their members with the planning, training, access, and equipment necessary to enjoy these activities.
== Origins ==
Some students' unions began planning wilderness outings in the late nineteenth century in response to the early American conservation movement.〔Webb 2001, pg. 42.〕 In 1909, students at New Hampshire's Dartmouth College organized a club around such outings, with a particular emphasis on winter sports.〔Allen 1996, pp. 75-76〕 ''National Geographic'' published an article〔Harris 1920, pp. 151–164.〕 about a Dartmouth Outing Club skiing trip in 1920, and the following spring saw a 300 percent increase in applications for admission to the college.〔Allen 1996, pg. 78.〕 By 1932, 14 outing clubs had been founded at universities in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. These 14 clubs formed the Intercollegiate Outing Club Association (IOCA) to organize multi-club excursions.〔Webb 2001, pg. 46.〕 These clubs were based on the model established at Dartmouth, although similar groups had existed since at least 1888.〔
Outing clubs were especially popular before and during World War II. They offered a way for students to find transportation at a time when few had cars and when gasoline was rationed.〔Webb 2001, pg. 48.〕 Because many of these clubs were at single-sex schools, IOCA outings were a popular way for members to meet students of the opposite sex.〔Webb 2001, pp. 42, 43, 50.〕 According to Dr. E. John B. Allen of the New England Ski Museum, collegiate outing clubs played an important role in promoting and modernizing skiing in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s.〔Allen 1996, pg. 117.〕
