Sea Kayaking


  • Sea kayaking is the common name for a sport that should more accurately be called "kayak touring", since we often paddle on lakes, as opposed to the ocean. We offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced instructional trips.

Caving


  • The caving subcommittee provides instruction "for students, by students" teaching safe horizontal and vertical caving skills. We have caving gear available which allows us to do just about any kind of caving short of cave diving in the Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia (TAG) area. And we do.

Mountain Biking


  • Our informal group is a great place to meet fellow cyclists and find out about local cycling events. We offer group rides, instructional schools for all levels, and maintenance classes. If you want to find local trails, start off-road riding or racing, we can help you out!
