General Meeting, 8/4
Want to sign up for an awesome SOLO/Wilderness First Aid training at the Loj the weekend of 8/13? Or be a part of Open Loj/work weekend’s latest installation (8/6-8/8)? Look no further than our general meeting tomorrow night, 7:30 PM on Centennial quad. The holes are dug, the concrete is setting, and it’s time to start framing the deck for our new toolshed and we’d love your help. Even if you can’t make it to the Loj this weekend, we’d love for you to come hang out with us tomorrow night! The gear locker will also be open after the meeting to rent/return your gear (make sure to fill out a gear request form on the nuhoc.com website before you come to the meeting.) Memberships will also be for sale as always.
General Meeting 7/21
Hey NUHOC! If you’re looking for a reprieve from the heat or a chance to exert your pent up frustration from your job, we’ve got the event for you! Join us for a water balloon toss/fight in addition to our general meeting spiel tomorrow night at 7:30 on Centennial Common! If you have won a social media contest prize we’ll be taking a detour to the gear locker afterwards as well. We have some cool trips planned over the next couple weekends so swing by if you’re in Boston for some good old-fashioned fun!
In person general meeting, 7/7
Join us on Centennial Common at 7:30 PM! And keep those #summerofnuhoc submissions rolling in on Instagram. Just make sure you’ll be around to pick up your prize.
In person general meeting, 6/23 and #summerofnuhoc Instagram contest!
Hey there NUHOC! We’re super stoked that summer is finally here and we are running Loj trips again! Two important announcements this week:
⛰
First, our general meeting is tomorrow night, 7:30 pm, at the koi pond outside Curry Student Center. We’ll be taking trip signups and since Father’s Day was last weekend, we’d love to see your best Dad outfit, bad jokes and supreme grilling skills included.
⛰
Next, we are going to be running a super cool summer-long Instagram contest starting this week. Head on over to @wegoontrips on Instagram for all the details on how to enter your Instagram photos of your outdoor adventures. We have some awesome NUHOC merch to give out to our weekly winners and the more people that enter, the better, so get out there and have fun!
In person general meeting tomorrow!
HELLOOOOOOO NUHOC! We’re excited to announce that in light of recent policy relaxations we will be having our first FULLY IN PERSON general meeting tomorrow night at 7:30 PM in Curry Student Center 344. Join us for trip signups, some important club updates, and some semblance of normalcy! Note that since we are trying to go back to in-person meetings, we won’t be sending out Zoom links anymore, but if you’re like me and not in Boston until later in the summer/this fall, or just can’t make it to the meeting, don’t worry – all of the juicy deets will be sent out in the meeting notes. Hope you are all staying cool out there and getting outside!

Here are some informative posts about whiteness in the outdoors.
Hello NUHOC!
As a member of NUHOC, I have loved getting the chance to get outdoors and experience the White Mountains of New Hampshire. In this time of social upheaval, I think it’s really important to be aware of the way whiteness and privilege can affect the outdoor community. These are some resources that I found helpful. If anyone has suggestions or resources to share about how we can ensure that NUHOC is a responsible, supportive, and open community to all, I would love to see them.
Go to our page, diversity in the outdoors, for more resources.
