Club Day at De Anza College is usually held on the Thursday of the third week of fall, winter and spring quarters, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is info for when it is held in the Sunken Gardens. ( Winter quarter 2026 Club Day will be Thursday, Jan. 22.)
Live performances by students . . . free refreshments . . . Clubs set up tables in the Sunken Garden,
which is north of the Library and the Main Quad biggest fountain on the campus.
In the map below it is the blue rectangle with a gray edge:
Clubs usually set up their tables in the area on this map with yellow stripes:
You can usually find the Outdoor Club just down the stairs from
the Hinson Campus Center Outdoor Patio on the right in the photo above.
You will almost always find us by looking for the table with a kayak on it.
It is one of the kayaks we use for October and May beginner’s or experienced kayaking lesson and practice paddling 16 minutes from the campus. The club provides all the kayaks and equipment. The cost is lower than renting a kayak elsewhere.
(These are not the kind of kayaks you have your legs fully inside of, they are more like a different shape of open canoe, so no specialized training is needed to use them.)
and these kayaks are used for the between-summer-and-fall-quarter adventure to Grand Teton National Park.
We also do a winter quarter weekend trip to Yosemite National Park each year.
You have a number of choices of where you stay overnight on the Yosemite trip and who you share a campsite with / have as a roommate
(or you could come up just for the day Saturday – but people rarely do). Some people come up the day before the official trip and stay the night after.
You can stay in the campground,
a heated-or-not wood floored canvas roofed/sided tent cabin,
wood walled cabin with a bathroom or with a bathroom nearby
or a hotel room with a bathroom
or a very deluxe hotel room
