Does USC have any active outdoor/ outing clubs?

Hi – My daughter is a HS senior who has applied to USC and many other schools. As she awaits the decisions, we are having fun looking at the websites of the various colleges together and thinking about activities that she might want to get involved in. Many schools have a rich offering of outdoor adventure trips that students can sign up for – e.g., weekend sea kayaking or backpacking trips, day hikes, and the like. Some schools have trips for small groups of incoming freshmen before school starts, which seems like a great way to get to know a few classmates before the beginning of the semester.

Does anyone know if USC has any groups or clubs that plan outdoor outings? We couldn’t find any on the website. I know there is an outdoors floor in one of the dorms, but my daughter was worried that the activities of a specially dedicated floor might be too advanced. She’s looking for beginning-to-intermediate-type trips, not serious rock climbing and the like. She’d also be interested in hearing about cultural outing groups/ clubs.

And, yes, we know that she might not get in, but it is fun to think ahead!

Thanks!
