San Luis

Cal Poly SLO is where FSC started — a handful of students in 2019 who wanted an excuse to leave campus on the weekend. Six years later, we're 80+ members strong and still mostly doing the same thing: finding any reason to get outside.

Being in San Luis Obispo means we're never more than an hour from somewhere worth seeing — the Sespe backcountry, Montana de Oro's bluffs, Big Sur's coastline, and the Eastern Sierra when we're ready for something bigger. Most of what we do starts with a group chat and ends with someone's car packed too full.

We run weekly meetups on campus, monthly trips of varying difficulty, and an open-door policy for anyone who's never camped before. No experience needed — just a willingness to be a little uncomfortable in good company.
