. Although completely autonomous, both chapters of the organization operate in a similar manner and share relatively similar principles. People gather to go for camps, cycling trips, overseas adventure trips, or organized competitions. Adventure Jamboree
is an annual event inter-organized by all local universities' ODAC. In the United States, a greater amount of available funding allows for more "intensive" trips to be undertaken, such as snowboarding, rock climbing, surfing, and even sky diving.
In a JC, it is a popular CCA which is hard to get in as there is a certain quota on the number of members. Freshmen to the JC will have to go through selection trials and maybe camps so as to get themselves into the club. It is a club for people with love and passion for outdoor and adventure.
