Parks Canada Outdoors Club of Carleton

What was supposed to be a fall hike quickly turned into a winter adventure ❄️🍁😁
But we embraced it all — snow, wind, and breathtaking views, haha:)
Thanks to everyone who came out.
Stay tuned… more adventures are on the way! ⛰️✨

Thank you to everyone who came out to our first reading week trip! Everyone had an amazing time and did a great job powering through these beautiful trails. Stay tuned for the posts from the next trip!

Thank you to everyone who came out and braved the rain on our arboretum walk yesterday! We are looking forward to our next one coming up! Stay tuned for more information.

The winter semester may be ending, but PCOCC memories will last forever🌲💚

Some (very late) photos from our walk at Parc Plaisance! It was the perfect day to wrap up our winter activities, as you can see by all the people wearing T-shirts out in the snow... very Canadian!⛰️🍁

It's time for a camera roll spring cleaning! PCOCC has had so many super fun events this semester, and we have a LOT of photos to prove it.

Here are some pics from our forest trail skate and Sugar Shack trips this winter! 🌲🫎

We're so excited spring is here, but we'll always remember all the amazing people that make the cold Canadian winter so magical. ✨🌨️

Celebrate Spring with PCOCC on March 20th at 8am for a bird walk through the Arboretum!🦅

We'll be guided by a very special guest/former PCOCCer, Dahlia, who is a bird rehabber and birding enthusiast!

We'll be meeting at 8am at Hartwell's Locks before walking around the Arboretum, Fletcher's Wildlife Garden, and anywhere else the birds call us.

Tickets are free for this event, so sign up now and make the most of warming weather with us!🐦🐣

Some photos from PCOCCxCCC Klimat Trip during the reading week! Whether a problem required hanging hands free 10 feet in the air, or climbing upside down, our members were up to the challenge.

And of course, we treated ourselves to some delicious poutine.

Thanks to everyone who came out!
