The Intercollegiate Outing Club Association was formed in 1932 to serve as a contact between college outing clubs.

Today the association still holds the same purpose. It allows larger clubs with a lot of expertise and equipment to help smaller clubs with fewer resources become more active. It also helps new clubs to get started by providing sample constitutions, bylaws, and ideas.

IOCA events offer a great chance to meet others who share a love of the outdoors and adventure. Newsletters are sent out to announce trips, circulate articles, info, and photos. To get onto the mailing list email the current Exec. Sec:info@ioca.org
