Becoming a Member is easier than you think! Please read the information below to find out how YOU can become a member today!

The cost of a one year membership is $10 for everyone including McMaster Students (includes international and exchange students), faculty and staff and community members.  

Once you have registered as an Outdoor Club member, the price you pay for each trip and course will depend on whether or not you are a DBAC facility member.  DBAC members receive a subsidized rate for each of our trips and courses, while non-DBAC members pay the full cost.
