-The '''New Hampshire Outing Club (NHOC)''' is the oldest and largest student organization at the [[University of New Hampshire]] in [[Durham, New Hampshire|Durham]]. Founded in 1911, it currently has around 250 members. The NHOC typically offers 2 to 3 trips each weekend which include a variety of activities. In the past included canoeing, rock climbing, caving, skydiving, snowshoeing, downhill and cross-country skiing, and mountaineering. The club has also led sailing trips in the summer. However the clubs focus has been hiking, which has gone as far to be called "peak bagging" as veteran members seek to summit all forty-eight 4,000 footers in the White Mountains. The club is entirely student run and decisions for the club are made at weekly business meetings that are open to anyone in the club. The UNH Student Activity Fee covers most of the trips costs. These funds have significantly increased the clubs membership by cutting out of pocket costs to students to a fraction of what they had been for much of the clubs history.

[[Franconia Notch]] Cabin, or "Franky" as it is colloquially known, was built in the early 1900s. It suffered a propane explosion in 1957, causing the club to rebuild the cabin where it stands today in [[Franconia Notch State Park]]. The cabin operates on a special-use permit from the state of New Hampshire.
