IOCA/MHOC Winter Fun '08!
(Mount Holyoke College/MHOC Cabin/Skinner State Park 50 College St South Hadley, MA)
Join Mount Holyoke Outing Club for the annual Winter Fun IOCA weekend! We'll be gathering this year for the weekend of March 8 & 9 (with an option to arrive early on Friday evening for an extra night at the cabin.) MHOC will host the event as per usual at our club cabin in Skinner State Park, where a lovely hike accross the Seven Sisters is just a step off the porch, as well as on the Mount Holyoke College campus itself, for feasting and frolicking! Expect good fun!
*Fri-* Early arrivals greeted at Mead common room by 7pm and shuttled to our MHOC cabin in Skinner State Park, where you are welcome to make dinner preparations and socialize - but remember, it'll be an early morning!
*Sat-* Regular arrivals greeted at Mead common room around 9am, ready to shuttle to the cabin and a hike by 10. The hike will be somewhat strenuous, along the Seven Sisters in Skinner State Park for lunch at the summit of Skinner Mountain, and back again (with an option to shuttle back from the summit.) In the meantime, those who don't wish to hike can enjoy socialization, games, and activities on the beautiful Mount Holyoke Campus! We'll meet up again for a great spaghetti dinner, then it's off to contra dancing with the rest of the Mount Holyoke community to a live band! We'll return to the cabin after, where we'll enjoy s'mores and an evening of IOCA goodness!
*Sun-* An oatmeal breakfast and a lunch to bring along as we pack and tidy up before returning to MHC campus for the second annual Winter Fun Relay Race! Clubs and teams compete with each other for supremacy in an assortment of unusual outdoor skills! Winter Fun '08 will conclude by 1pm.
The IOCA cost for the weekend is $20 total, or $25 if arriving on Friday. In order for us to plan accordingly, we ask for clubs to please reserve places in advance, and send all payments in postmarked by the 2nd. (At-the-door fees are $30.) We also have a limited number of sleeping bags and pads available for rent, to cut down on packing bulk for our guests - first-call, first serve!
