Climbing

Every Friday at 2pm I will climbing at the rock wall in the rec center for those of you who wish to join me. Its great exercise and a lot of fun. You don't have to be good at it just come along and try it, make a goal to reach and strive to surpass it next time you climb. It provides challenges that you don't normally face doing conventional exercises.

Friday afternoons will be the general time for the OAC to get together and climb as a club. Also if you are interested the MILE HIGH CHALLENGE is continuing this semester if you want to achieve that. It requires you to climb the rock wall 99 times in one semester, which is 1 mile high! To sign up you pay a fee at the rec center cashier's office and take the receipt to the rock wall staff and then CLIMB ON!

National Public Lands Day!

Each semester every club has to do some community service and what a better way for the Outdoor Adventure Club to give back then by helping our Natural Parks. National Public Lands Day is a national event where volunteers all over the country help clean up and improve our parks. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park has 4 volunteer oportunities to choose from.

I do need a list of who is going and what project we will be helping with. The projects are
1) Adopt-A-Trail (Trail sweep and clean up) [10am - 3pm] Won the Poll!
2) Peninsula Trash and Appliance clean up [9am - 1pm]
3) Sagamore Hills Trash and Appliance clean up [9am - 1pm]
4) Exotic Plant management at Richfield [9am - noon]

For details on these projects see http://www.cvnpa.org/Events/eventdetail.aspx?id=165
