== Williams Outing Club (WOC) ==
Founded in 1915, the [http://www.woc.williams.edu Williams Outing Club] provides outdoor PE classes, overnight trips, organizes [[Mountain Day]], rents equipment and gear, runs the [[Winter Carnival]], and runs the [[WOOLF]] program for incoming freshmen. A complete history of the organization is available [http://woc.williams.edu/index.php/about-woc/history here]. WOC is largely run by students on the [http://woc.williams.edu/index.php/join-woc/board WOC board] and Scott Lewis, the Outing Club Director.
Student memberships are $10, while Faculty/Staff memberships are $15 and Family memberships $25. Memberships are good for the entire academic year in which they are purchased. Members are automatically subscribed to the [http://woc.williams.edu/index.php/join-woc/listservers outing-news listserv] and receive notices of club events, trips, and activities. All members are also welcome and encouraged to come to weekly meetings to meet other members and discuss the activities of the club.
=== Meetings ===
The Outing Club holds weekly meetings on Wednesday nights at 7pm 7 PM in Schapiro Hall 141 to report on and plan trips, arrange speakers and discuss ideas for the present and future of the club. Members of the WOC Board are present at meetings, but all Outing Club members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Coming to meetings is a great way to learn more about WOC and to have a say in the trips and events that we sponsor.
