Historical Note

The Outing Club has existed at Holy Cross since cira 1936 with the intent to develop a strong bond of friendship among its members and the student body as a whole by providing sport and recreational facilities, and by promoting social functions. The Group organized activities such as Winter Carnival and later evolved into the Holy Cross Wilderness Outing Club. The group then centered around outdoors trips and activities suggested and planned by the members.
