ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE,
EPIC AND EXCITING CLUBS AT UC!
Welcome to what’s going to be a gnarly year. Whether you’re a frothy fresher or a wild adventurer, we’ve got something for you!
What we do
We’ve been out and about since the 1930s, helping and encouraging people to get out into the hills. Now as the LARGEST sports club on campus we are doing better than ever! So whether you’re into tramping, mountaineering, conservation, trail running, partying in the bush (or all of the above), CUTC is the club for you. With trips heading out every weekend, what could be better!

TROG
There’s nothing we love more than a good Trog. Trog stands for Trip Log, a story about your tramping club trip adventure! We collect these over the year and put them into a book which is printed and given out at the end of the year. They are a good way to reminisce about your adventures, get some inspiration for future trips and are also a great source of club history! Want to write a Trog? Find out how here.
