Beckett: February 29-March 1. The BOC will be heading up north to a YMCA camp in Beckett, Massachusetts. The activities for the weekend include snowshoeing, candle making, cross country skiing, a wood fire sauna, a ropes course, and MORE!!! The cost is only $35/person (includes transportation, food, two-nights of lodging, and all of the necessary gear). WAIT, there's MORE. More you say? The club will cover all costs for anyone with a car that is willing to drive. Contact jittania_smith@brown.edu. 

Archery: The BOC is going to an indoor archery range in Fall River, MA and there will be a FREE opportunity for anyone who is interested. This archery trip will take place on March 1st at noon. This is the only 40-yard archery range in New England and it's up to you if you would like to take this rare opportunity or not. Anyone is welcomed and I will be able to help beginners with basics. No experiences is necessary. Contact zhong_gao@brown.edu

Ice Climbing: We're pleased to announce that the BOC will be running our second annual ice climbing trip the weekend of March 8 and 9. We will be hiring a guide from the Rhode Island Rock Gym, and will most likely be climbing at Rumney, New Hampshire, a great area for beginners. As the gym is limited in equipment, we will probably run back-to-back day trips on both the Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th. No experience is necessary, and the cost of the trip will be approximately 40 dollars, plus a small contribution for gas and a tip. Contact Shane Schoepfer at shanedms@hotmail.com

KENTUCKY: March 21- April 1. So you all know Kentucky for what?  Horses?  Bourbon (or perhaps moonshine)?  Fried chicken?  Maybe even some Ale 81? Well, come spring break time, we are only thinking of one thing in KY: ROCK CLIMBING at The Red River Gorge!

That’s right folks, we are once again headed down south to the depths of rural Kentucky to climb some of the sexiest sandstone east of the Mississippi.  Sound fun?  Damn right it is!
