The Dartmouth Outing Club (DOC) is a collegiate outing club in the United States. Proposed in 1909 by Dartmouth College student Fred Harris to "stimulate interest in out-of-door winter sports", the club soon grew to encompass the college's year-round outdoor recreation and has had a major role in defining Dartmouth College.
Today the club has over 1500 student members (and almost as many non-student members) and acts as an umbrella organization for over twenty member clubs, committees, and divisions that each specialize in an aspect of outdoor recreation.
Previously among them was the Dartmouth Ski Team whose members have participated in 25 Olympic Games, beginning with John B. Carleton, who as a member of the Dartmouth class of 1922 competed in Chamonix in cross country and Nordic combined.
