Basecamp trip! We’ll be heading up to Castaic Lake for a 6 mile hike (and maybe swim) and picnic before joining other SCO trips in Carrizo Plains for the night. We’ll have a big cooking competition and you can meet so many other people interested in the outdoors! The next day, we’ll have breakfast and get back to campus by early afternoon. Come on this trip with us — we have the best vibes because we spend ALL of our time in the same room! Come on this trip if you’re cool (like us).
