What is Intro Trip?
Intro Trip is the largest trip of the year, and is designed for you, the newbie, to get an idea of what MUMC does, make some friends and have fun!

Places are limited; this trip will accept 64 'first timers'.

What is going to happen?

On Friday night, we will all carpool up to the Cathedrals, set up camp and  wait for the latecomers to arrive.

You'll wake up early Saturday morning to a hot breakfast, prepared for you by the trip leaders. After breakfast, we'll split off into our groups based on your preference of activities.

What activities?

You'll be able to do three of the following: rock climbing, kayaking, rafting, bushwalking and rogaining.

After lunch, we'll swap activities, and when they're finished for the day, we'll all return to camp, have a delicious barbecue, and spend the night chatting around the fire!

Sunday morning gives you the chance to try one last activity, before we pack up camp and head home.

Costs and logistics

Intro trip costs $150, and covers two breakfasts and Saturday dinner, gear rental, the campsite fee, petrol and car maintenance for the drivers, and all other bits and bobs that you need to have a nice camp.

What else will you need?

If you don't have a tent or a sleeping bag, you'll be able to rent one from the club, or share a tent with someone who does have one! It's really cheap, so don't let that stop you from signing up! When you've signed up, you will get a list of what you need to bring.

What do you do to come on the trip?

1. Sign up: come to a trip meeting, join as a member and secure your spot by paying $150.

2. Attend the trip meeting on the 14th of March: this is compulsory, we'll sort out carpooling and gear hire.

3. Ensure that you have an Australian phone number and a local emergency contact number listed.

4. Respond to any emails sent out: we'll be sending out a medical form, this must be filled out before the trip meeting on the 14th!
