The goal of OCAY is to foster a climbing-focused outdoor culture and community. In order to do this, OCAY aims to create a community of Yale students, faculty and staff who are already outdoor climbers, mountaineers or alpinists, and to provide safety workshops and other training opportunities for new and experienced climbers alike in a safe and controlled environment. In addition to on-campus events including workshops and social events, OCAY's ultimate goal is to lead outdoor climbing trips where members can learn from each other. As OCAY is expressly focused on outdoor climbing, we can focus our resources on providing the highest-quality climbing workshops, events, and outdoor trips.

Our mission is to promote the growing sport of disc golf in the Yale community and beyond. We aim to make the sport more accessible to those familiar with it and excitedly introduce it to those eager to learn about it for the first time. We meet casually for a round of disc golf every week either on campus or at a local public course to make the most of the sport’s inherent community dynamic, to savor the gorgeous New England outdoors, and to chuck frisbees, in a perfect world, right down the center of the fairway.
