In addition to climbing activities, There are other activities organised within the association. This is of course not only done by the board but also by many committees. These consist of active and enthusiastic members.
Briefly summarized, you can draw the following conclusion: Committee work is fascinating work. That is why participation in a committee can be a nice addition to your study and it doesn't even have to take a lot of time. Certainly for the new members, this is the way to get to know the ESAC inside out.
Enthusiastic and do you see a role in a committee? Address one of the committee members or email the board and sign up!
Lift competitions, movie nights and campfire evenings? What else do you want? The Activities Committee organizes various types of activities where climbing is not central. Do you have a nice idea for an activity that you would like to do with your fellow climbers? Then mail the committee via ac@esac.nl.

The AlpenCommission organizes the ESAC Base Camp-Idea (EBI) every year: camping for a week in the Alps, where participants can do alpine-related activities according to their own needs. Because there is much more to do in the alps than just climbing, which you don't get so much in here in the Netherlands, the Alpine Commission also provides lectures, presentations and other informative activities throughout the year.

The goal of the ECO/sustainability commission is to make the ESAC more sustainable. As an association, ESAC is significantly dependent on nature. We travel in large numbers several times a year to the Alps, Ardennes and other far-away places for alpinism, climbing, bouldering and skiing. We continue to emit CO2 and pollute the environment in other ways, but this can be reduced. The ECO is responsible for the creation of a sustainability guide. Besides that, the ECO will exist on the background in case our help is needed again for likewise activities, for instance a trash-run.
