NUcomers 2022

What is NUcomers??

NUcomers is our MASSIVE annual 3-night camping trip for newcomers to our club that goes from Friday October 7th to Monday October 10th at the NUHOC Loj up in Shelburne, New Hampshire!! It’s a great weekend filled with hiking, climbing, beautiful scenery, awesome people, s’mores, camping, swimming, apple picking, and lots more!! NUcomers is the perfect opportunity to spend time outside in the incredible fall foliage, make tons of brand new friends, and learn more about everything NUHOC does!! We bring over 100 students up to the Loj, so its the BEST WAY to get involved in NUHOC by meeting tons of cool people!! Group food and transportation is included in the $35 ticket price, and gear rentals will be available for those who need them! We hope to see you there!!!!

How will the trip work?

Once you’ve purchased a ticket, you will receive email communications with more trip info, including a packing list. Our weekly meeting on Wednesday 10/5 will be dedicated to NUcomers preparation, so make sure to attend for detailed information and an opportunity to ask any questions. We will meet on Friday 10/7 at 6:30pm at BofA on Forsyth St, where everybody will be sorted into vans and cars to be driven up to the Loj. At the Loj you will sign in, receive any necessary gear rentals, and set up your tent! On Saturday morning we’ll have breakfast, then our trip leaders will each announce the trips that they are leading, so you can pick whatever activity you would like to do for the day! After an awesome day of adventures, you’ll return to the Loj for dinner and hanging out around the campfire!! Repeat on Sunday, then pack up on Monday morning (it’s Indigenous People’s day so don’t worry about missing class/co-op) and return to Boston in the early afternoon. More details will be given as we get closer to the trip!

How do I sign up?
Tickets will be sold on mytickets.northeastern.edu, so make sure you are logged in ahead of time. The event will appear at 8PM on WEDNESDAY, 9/28, and the tickets will go on sale at 9PM!! The spots fill up within minutes, so be prepared to fill out the form as soon as it’s available. You will need to enter card details to make a one time purchase of $35. Detailed instructions will be posted in our Slack workspace before the ticket sale goes live. You should also come to our weekly meetings on Wednesday nights at 7:30pm to learn more, especially the meeting on 9/28 which is right before tickets go on sale. The meeting locations can be found in Slack or on the calendar. Once you’ve purchased a ticket, you will receive further instructions via email the next day!!
