Benefits for members

The Australian National University Mountaineering Club is Canberra's largest and most active outdoors club. We are a community of students and graduates who have a common passion for the outdoors and adventure sports. ANUMC members are able to participate in various events and can hire a huge variety of gear at low rates. In addition, members are eligible to receive support to participate in advanced training and skills sessions, competitions and can access discounts at many Canberra outdoor stores.

Trips and Events

Club members regularly organise trips including bushwalking, canyoning, climbing, kayaking, mountaineering, mountain biking, rogaining/orienteering, ski touring and snow-shoeing. These activities cater to a range of abilities and are a great way to learn new skills and work on your fitness to participate in more complex trips. As well as adventure trips, the club also runs social events including camp-outs, BBQs, dinners, adventure film nights and presentations/slide nights. 

Gear store

The gear store opens weekly so members can hire equipment.

Leadership development

Membership provides a great opportunity to develop leadership skills. Leading trips, participating in training, passing on your skills and knowledge, and serving on the committee or executive are all ways of contributing to the club while building your own skills and experience in leadership.

Subsidies

The club has a long history of providing funding support to its members for competition, skills training and expedition subsidies.

Discounts

A number of local and online stores offer club members discounts of between 10 and 20 percent.

Insurance

The ANU holds a range of insurance policies that extend to ANU Sport and Recreation Association clubs. ANUMC recommends that all members have appropriate ambulance cover and health insurance, as well as vehicle insurance.
