About Us

The Johns Hopkins Outdoors Club (JHOC) runs weekly trips during the academic year which include hiking, backpacking, climbing, canoeing, caving, and other outdoors activities. All Hopkins affiliates are invited to participate in our escapades. Equipment and transportation are provided, and every JHOC excursion is free! Check out our schedule of trips to find some that fit your schedule.

JHOC is run by undergraduate student officers who are elected yearly. These fine wilderness enthusiasts scour the globe (or at least the east coast) for beautiful and exciting destinations. Contact  for more information about club activities.

Gear for Personal Trips

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide gear for personal trips, even if you offer to pay for it. However, use of our gear is free when you come on any of our trips, so go sign up!

Directions to the JHOC Clubroom

It is somewhat hard to find the club room, but fear not, for hope remains. Simply meander on over to the Rec Center, amble down the brick path to the left of the entrance towards the rear of the building, saunter twixt tables on your right and a steamy building on your left, shuffle across the parking lot to the ROTC building, glance right at the wooden stairs ascending the building, and scale said staircase to the top door. If there's an "Outdoors Club" sign on the wall, you've found us. Otherwise, you're lost, homes.

Or, find us on this campus map [pdf].
