What do I need to bring?
You just need to bring personal items- things like clothes, sleeping bags/pads and toiletries. When you register, your option coord will send out a packing list!
Group gear (e.g. tents, food, cooking supplies) will be provided. You’ll be able to rent any personal gear that you don’t have through the McGill Outdoor Club (MOC)! *The only exception is for hiking frosh: you will need a good pair of shoes (preferably hiking shoes). We do not rent out hiking shoes!*
Who is eligible to participate in Outdoor Frosh?
If you are an incoming first year McGill student or a visiting exchange student, you are eligible!
When is Registration?
Registration for Frosh 2024 will open July 21st at 3pm EDT!
What is the MOC?
‘MOC’ stands for McGill Outdoors Club and is one of the largest clubs at McGill. The execs of the MOC run trips throughout the year, from canoe trips in Mauricie Park to early morning hikes up Mont Royal. Members are also welcome to host trips and use the Listserv to invite others and make some new friends! Your registration fee for frosh will include a $20 membership fee, so you’ll be all set to participate in their events later on in the year! Check out our website here!
When is Outdoor Frosh?
Frosh 2024 is from the 22nd of August to the 25th of August!
Can I participate in more than one Frosh?
No, you will only be able to register for one frosh option this year. That being said, you’ll still be able to participate in the McGill orientation week (e.g., discovery day etc.) because these events occur before the days of frosh.
Do I have to have specific skills to participate in Outdoor Frosh?
Outdoors Frosh is open to everyone! All of our activities will be beginner-friendly, and you’ll have lots of capable leaders around you to give you a helping hand.
How much does Outdoor Frosh cost?
The cost of frosh varies from year to year, based on the expenses involved in planning. Camping, climbing and hiking options costs $230 dollars, and canoeing costs $250 because canoe rentals are more expensive. We run frosh as close to at-cost as possible to make it as affordable as we can.
If the price will stop you from participating in our frosh please reach out to us (frosh@mcgilloutdoorsclub.ca)with a brief description of why you’d like to participate in frosh, and we will do our best to offer full or partial bursaries (please indicate which one you need when you write to us). Please send us your bursary application by the 17th of July 2024.
