Hello earth-lovers, I, a fellow earth-lover, spend the time I am not outside loving the earth inside loving it – as a member of DivestUVA!! We are a coalition of students and CIOs asking UVA to fully divest our endowment from fossil fuels – which are the leading cause of the climate crisis. If you are worried about climate change …
Hello, hello! Who doesn’t love a good sunrise? We can’t think of a better way to start a fun fall Friday then with a chill hike. Also neither of us have been on the O’hill trails in the morning, so this should be a very chill and easy trip. Bodos just makes it even better. Ideally, we’ll meet at 6:15 …

Do not let your doubts deceive you, for all of these activities (and more) can be enjoyed just a short distance from Grounds, at Ragged: in fact, we can do all of them in one trip! We’ll convene at the Shred Shack at 8:00 sharp to ride bikes to the reservoir; this is a short bike ride that can be …
Good evening friendly folks!! As a fourth year in a very ~chill~ major with very little motivation, I personally do not have a ton of exam stress. BUT this is typically a pretty stressful time of the semester in an already extraordinarily stressful year. Come join wonderful Katie (*yoga certified*) and I for some yoga and a lil peaceful meditation. …
This trip isn’t actually taking place at the Castle but the field behind it: https://goo.gl/maps/F4hZTvwDXdeh6tTa9 I’ll be bringing Spikeball and a Frisbee but if anyone else wants to bring something just let me know. The plan is just to hang out and play some casual sports to kick off the weekend. Everyone bring some water for yourself. Text me at …
Hey hey hey! Since I slept through the last sunrise event I was supposed to do, I’ve decided I’m trying again with the help of Lily and we’re going to start our day on Friday with some sunrise singing and sipping on something steamy. Here’s the plan: – meet by the bus stop at Kellogg House at 6:00am – sit …
Hello everyone! This is going to be a different type of trip than the ones you usually see posted here. For starters, this is going to be a virtual trip! Which means, if you aren’t on grounds this semester, you can still attend, and it also means– no attendee limit! So, if you sign up, you’re guaranteed a spot, woohoo!!! …
You’ve had a long and tiring day sending it in the mountains, and now, as the shadows are lengthening, you settle into your campsite for the evening. The wind is picking up, and though the sunset is gorgeous, you know that soon enough that the ambient cold will get colder, and colder – the time is nigh for a hot …
What’s up, dirtbags! I just checked the forecast for Friday and it’s gonna be a balmy 69 degrees which means you KNOW it’s a good day for a trip. Here’s the plan: – meet by the bus stop at Kellogg House at 6:15am – sit down on the grass by the top of the ramp and get the finest view …

You make the Outdoors club the wonderful and exciting organization that it is, and while we cannot fully convey our …
The astute among you guys will notice that this trip coincides with the bike assembly trip. Indeed, this is no coincidence: building bikes is demanding work, and after long hours tinkering with allen screws and poorly-aligned brake calipers, there is little that the mind and body so jointly require more than a well-prepared s’more. Your job, as attendee of this …
80 degree weather in October means a couple of things. 1) It’s practically mandatory that we spend an evening watching the stars and moon spin around us while we think about how small we are in this big, big world. 2) October means it’s time to fill the Shred Shack for this ’21-’22 school year!! 3) Climate change is big …
Gotta make more postcards! So I can write back a few friends (long overdue..whoop) and tell the family that I’m alive. The idea is to trace a leaf, free-draw the veins, write the species name in the corner if you can, and then watercolor it all in. Even I can make some art that I’m not afraid to show someone …
Bongiorno. I find myself in a mid-winter slump. The cold is suppressing my drive, to get outdoors. As a remedy I have found myself fondly recollecting adventures past and scheming adventures future. And on the most frozen days my mind wanders to The Big Ones, the trips which require passport, the plane ticket, y las lenguas extranjeras. Perhaps you too …
On the sixth day of shredmas Austin Sullivan gave to me a south lawn kickback, fiiiiiive campfire siiiings! four alpine draws, three 23’s, two biking gloves, and a gnartridge in a pear tree. This trip is a potluck of chill outdoor activities, if you will. I bring a slackline, you bring your frisbees and hammocks and lawn chairs, and kick …
IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. Yes, I know that it’s not Christmas time, pretty babies. BUT IT IS HALLOWEEN TIME. So, let us celebrate in the most fitting way that I can imagine. Come little children, I’ll take thee away. That is… to check out the spooky abandoned Jeffersonian ruins of Barboursville IN THE DARK! And telling …

Howdy fellow outdoors-people! If you’re anything like me you have five exams coming up and need a easy breezy break.
