Outdoor Club Coming Attractions
Last chance to sign up for the Monterey Kayak trip was Saturday, May 7, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and the trip is now closed to signups.
We intend to go again in Fall Quarter, October, 2022.
Signups for the May 2022 Outdoor Club kayak trip on Monterey Bay
have things you must do before you come on campus to sign up.
You always need to bring a photo ID and proof you are a De Anza student to be able to sign up for an event. For proof of enrollment you can show us, on your smart-enough phone, your enrollment at the Portal.
You can’t just show up for an off-campus event and expect to participate without having signed up in advance in person and having paid in advance. If you are under 18 your parent / guardian must sign you up, in person, with you.
You can’t sign up on-line, by email or at this website, each student must appear in person to sign trip agreements/releases.
Your friend or even your spouse can’t sign the required paperwork.
There are no waitlists for club events.
Step One (many students have already done this step)
All De Anza Outdoor Club events require an in-person, on campus signup.
Everyone coming on campus,
whether for an in-person class,
or to go to the library,
to use the ZOOM spaces https://www.deanza.edu/students/zoom-spaces.html,
to access other on campus college services,
or to sign up in person for Outdoor Club adventures and/or a membership
must submit proof of full Covid vaccination and booster before they come on campus or register for an on-campus class.
People are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 two weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or two weeks after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson (J&J)/Janssen). And as of spring quarter 2022, you also need a booster.
If you are not enrolled in an in-person on campus class and have not submitted your vaccination proof, please read:
https://www.deanza.edu/return-to-campus/students.html
and follow through by doing the things you must do before you come to talk to us / do trip paperwork on campus.
Step Two
If you carefully read the trip webpage,
and trip agreement
before you come to sign up, it will go much faster and you will better be able to pass the trip pre-test.
(The first people who took the test the last time we went kayaking got perfect or near-perfect scores.)
Step Three
Along with the trip agreement you will need to sign another college release.
Signing up will go faster if you print it and fill it out in advance by going to:
(Especially important to note if you are under 18 years old a parent/guardian will need to sign it in person.)
Step Four
You must bring your money order payment when you come to sign up.
(You can come to one of the signups meetings and get questions answered and/or take the pretest but you can’t sign up unless you have your trip payment with you.)
see: how to get a money order to pay for an Outdoor Club trip
For most signups (or ask questions or take the pre-test), we meet at the college swimming pool area.
A swim class will be in session so you might have to wait a bit to get help.
The sign ups (or ask questions or take the pre-test) for the Monterey ocean kayak day trip will be:
Saturday, April 16, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the pool.
Saturday, April 23, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the pool.
(The ICC cancelled the original April 21 Club Day due to possible weather.)
Thursday, April 28, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the college Club Day, where clubs will have tables set up
in the main quad by the biggest fountain:
(Club Day is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the Outdoor Club intends to be there at least that entire time, but coming to sign up the last hour will not give you enough time to take the test and do all the paperwork. Students who said they can help at the table are encouraged to be there at 9 a.m.)
You can find the main quad in about the center of the campus map at:

Please note that if the ICC changes the date again, we might not have the time to update this webpage.
Saturday, April 30, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the pool.
AND last chance to sign up for the Monterey Kayak trip will be
Saturday, May 7, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the pool.
People who wait until the last minute to sign up are sometimes left out.
