About

Massey University Alpine Club (MUAC) is an outdoor club run by volunteers for the benefit of its members, both student, and non-student. The club has a good international, Kiwi and gender blend. MUAC is mostly undergraduate students, but there are plenty of post-graduate and non-student members into their 30’s.

Membership is $20 per semester or $40 per year. You get benefits for the whole year including cheaper gear hire, trip and hut fees, and access to the climbing wall in the Recreation Centre.

Every Monday (except during University breaks and exam periods) there is a weekly meeting in the evening at 7pm in the MUSA lounge (on Concourse) which can be found on the Massey University campus in Palmerston-North. We try to organize at least one official club trip each weekend, but unofficial hikes are often organized by our members. Club trips vary between instructional, social or general hikes which normally take place as a day hike or overnighter. 

All trips will be discussed and displayed in the Facebook group. Join our Facebook group, like our  Facebook page and follow our Instagram for more information and to stay up to date!:

MUAC has a huge amount of potential opportunities for learning new skills, making friends and experiencing the great outdoors. However, at the end of the day, you’ll only get the benefit if you put the effort in.
