Outdoor Adventure Club

Outdoor Adventure Club

Outdoor Adventure Club, sometimes known as Outdoor Activity Club, (abbreviation: ODAC ) is a student-run organization operating within a few respectable universities in the southeastern United States, most notably at Auburn University in central Alabama, where it was originally founded. An unrelated group by the same name exists as a Co-curricular activity (CCA) in some junior colleges and universities in Singapore and Applewood Heights Secondary School. Although completely autonomous, both chapters of the organization operate in a similar manner and share relatively similar principles. People gather to go for camps, cycling trips, overseas adventure trips, or organized competitions. Adventure Jamboree is an annual event inter-organized by all local universities' ODAC. In the United States, a greater amount of available funding allows for more "intensive" trips to be undertaken, such as snowboarding, rock climbing, surfing, and even sky diving.

In a JC, it is a popular CCA which is hard to get in as there is a certain quota on the number of members.[citation needed] Freshmen to the JC will have to go through selection trials and maybe camps so as to get themselves into the club. It is a club for people with love and passion for outdoor and adventure.
