帆船俱乐部

The UNE 帆船俱乐部 offers learn-to-sail clinics throughout the semester in 420 sailboats steps from residence halls. Additional off-campus charters on traditional Maine Schooners and the opportunity to race amongst other collegiate teams keep students involved.

Scuba Club (Under Pressure)

Want to learn to Scuba Dive? Scuba Club hosts PADI certification classes and open-water dives each year. When the water gets too cold, the club moves into the UNE pool and enjoys the warm water to practice skills and have fun.

Ski and Board club (Ride 24/7)

Want to spend your winter on the mountain? Ride 24/7 provides rides to local mountains, discounted season passes, and local events that share the love of alpine sports.

冲浪俱乐部

With some of the best 冲浪 on the east coast just minutes from the UNE campus, 冲浪俱乐部 has a great time teaching students how to surf and getting out on the waves. Join the club and borrow equipment anytime to catch a wave (restrictions apply).

I got really involved with 郊游俱乐部, we went out to Utah to Zion National Park [for spring break]. We coordinated to book flights, made a plan for food — then we just went for it. We hiked Angels Landing, Observation Point, and a bunch of smaller hikes. It was a really good bonding experience — the people from that trip are some of my closest friends.
