In addition.
OPO advises the Dartmouth Outing Club, the largest and oldest college outing club in the country. In partnership with our student leaders, we offer trips, outdoor education seminars, workshops, and courses.
Moosilauke hospitality is a tradition dating back to 1920. Over the years, Dartmouth folks have turned to the mountain for educational programs, reunions, and to enjoy the woods. The Ravine Lodge is the heart of this common ground for students, faculty, alumni, friends of Dartmouth, and the greater public. The crew serves family-style meals and tends to five rustic, hostel-style bunkhouses. Working at the Lodge means being part of the stewardship of a place so central to the Dartmouth community.
