Five College Outdoor Festival

The Five College Outdoor Festival is a yearly celebration of outdoor sports, wild places, and the spirit of adventure. Our goal is to inspire the Five College and western Massachusetts community to engage in human-powered outdoor recreation. The festival includes clinics, speakers, a climbing competition, and the Telluride Mountain Film On Tour. 

The 2010 Festival will benefit All Out Adventures!
