Backpacking

Join Us

The Excursion Club is open to everyone that is interested in the activities that we organize. The majority of members do attend UCSB, but we also have SBCC students, graduate level students, and even people who have finished their degrees and still live in the area. The only requirement that we have for membership is that you are over 18.

Membership fees are $40 for an entire calendar year. That is if you join today your membership is good until this day next year. All of the membership fees collected are used to purchase club equipment, fund social events for club members, and a small portion is used to purchase flyers and other administrative supplies. Members are able to borrow equipment for Excursion Club trips at no cost. Current equipment includes: backpacks, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, backpacking stoves, first-aid kits, tarps, tents, snowshoes, ice axes, surfboards, wetsuits, rock climbing equipment, kayaking equipment, walkie-talkies, California topographic maps, and a GPS.

There are two ways that you can sign up to become a member.

1. Attend one of our weekly meetings. There you can fill out a membership form and pay the membership fee.

2. If you cannot make the weekly meetings, contact one of the Directors on the Officers Page.

Club T-Shits

We have both this year's design and last year's available as well. Cotton t-shirts are only $12 and the polyester/cotton blend t-shirts are $16. If you would like to purchase a shirt they are available at the meetings, or you can contact one of the Directors.
