When the week has been long and all you're looking for is a little bit of fun and adventure, what better way to relax than a full night of skiing at Cataloochee! Join Base Camp Cullowhee on the slopes of Cataloochee ski resort every Friday night for the whole winter. Ski under the lights! We've got special discounted rates that you can't beat! Skiers and Snowboarders are welcome. 
Learn how to travel, camp, and cook in the cold weather. We'll head to one of our favorite winter camping spots for a hike in and an overnighter. We provide all the needed equipment and food. Just bring your hiking shoes and your warm clothes! 
Base Camp Cullowhee is bringing kayaking to you! Kayak manufacturers such as Wave Sport, Dagger, Riot and more will bring their and latest hottest boats to WCU for you to demo. We'll start in Reid pool and move to the Slab Hole on the East Fork of the Tuckaseegee after lunch. We'll wrap up the day with a movie and pizza in the UC Theater. Kayaking doesn't get more convenient than this! 
Join us Friday night on a hike lit by the full moon. Enjoy the crisp winter sky, stars, and the company of others as we hike one of our favorite trails. So grab some warm clothes, a snack, and a flashlight (in case the moon decides to take a break) and relax from your normal Friday night!
This semester Base Camp and the Women's Center will head out on a day hike with a gourmet backcountry meal at the end (well as gourmet as we know how to do). We'll discuss history, vegetation, and anything else you'd like to talk about while enjoying the scenery. 
The Wild and Scenic Chattooga rive is arguably one of the most beautiful and exciting rivers in the country. Section 4 of the Chattooga boast infamous Class IV rapids such as 7 Foot Falls, Cork Screw, Jawbone, Soc em Dog and more. We'll spend Saturday hiking in the local forest, camp over night, and then spend all day Sunday on the river. Price includes equipment, guides, transportation, and most food. 
Need service hours? Want to help the environment? Looking for a fun FREE activity for the weekend? Every year hundreds of volunteers join forces to clean up 26 miles of the Tuckaseegee River corridor. Once you register on the UC lawn you'll be given a Free T-shirt (while they last), snack, Personal Floatation Device, Paddle, and transportation to the river. Once there you'll get trash bags, listen to the river talk, hop in a raft and off down the river you go for a rafting / trash picking up experience! For more information please check out our website. 
This full weekend of kayaking will take you from the pool on Friday to the river Saturday and Sunday and teach you all the skills you need in between. All the equipment, instruction, and food is included and you'll be back home each night to sleep in your own bed. Great for novice to intermediate paddlers.
