Middlebury Outdoor Programs

Join MMC for a fun night of a Chopped-style cooking competition using a backcountry stove!

Bring damaged jackets, bags, or other outdoor gear to Gifford Lawn for free professional repairs from Maine GearShare. Attendees can observe the repair process, learn which fixes are most effective, and connect with student groups focused on outdoor access and sustainability. This event is open to everyone and encourages reducing waste through reuse and repair.

Drop off gear in need of repair, then connect with student orgs (MMC! EcoReps! FIRE! Weybridge! New Perennials!) about how to get outside! 

Learn how to handle outdoor emergency situations in this two-day Wilderness First Aid certification course, SOLO’s most popular class. You will learn how to stabilize emergencies, dress exposed wounds, treat weather exposure and practice other common survival skills. Like all SOLO courses, students learn both in a classroom setting and through structured scenarios. WFA is a 2-year certification and, for an additional fee, will also re-certify a soon-to-expire WFR or AWFA qualification.

The AIARE 1 is a three-day / 24-hour introduction to avalanche hazard management.

Students can expect to develop a good grounding in how to prepare for and carry out a backcountry trip, to understand basic decision making while in the field, and to learn rescue techniques required to find and dig up a buried person (if an avalanche occurs and someone in the party is caught).

Open to all members of the Middlebury community!
