Trip Description
What's Included: 4 nights/5 days of bike camping (It is possible to join us a day late and leave a day early if needed)
This ride is an ecstatic celebration of Lake Michigan and all that it coast has to offer. This is going down in the heart of the summer and there will be plenty of chances to go swimming in our gem of a lake. Hence the name, the SWMI, "swimmy", ride. Roll with some of the best guides OOFD has to offer as we finally break into our 4th state, Michigan! Learn about the ecology of the lake and the lake shore while also exploring some of its hidden gems and excellent local spots.
We understand pulling off a 5 day ride might be tough, so you can join us Thursday night or Friday morning at the IN Dunes. The south shore train is super convenient for this. Also, if you need to dip out on Sunday, the Amtrak and South Shore can get ya back to the city no problem. But the price for the trip is all the same, so you should take advantage of this extended summertime adventure if you can.
For a more in depth breakdown of what each day looks like, check
this out.

Campsite and firewood
Most meals minus a lunch or two

Our guides are part of a community of volunteers that believe in adventure and helping others find adventure right out our front door. They exude a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive spirit which are foundational values at OOFD. They have love and appreciation for their home and like sharing knowledge about that home with others, thus helping the riders to develop a stronger sense of gratitude for our local history and nature.
The guides will be set with the route and a script about the area you’ll be riding through with intentionally chosen breakpoints along the way.
They are more than someone to follow on the ride. They are trained and will be there to encourage and support you as well as support with mechanicals that may arise.
TICKET PRICES AND ADD-ONS
The base ticket price for this event is kept low with the majority of it going to cover the cost of the campsites, food, and supplies. The guides are all volunteers as OOFD is mainly volunteer run.
So when checking out, please consider the ticket price add-ons and pay what you can to either help grow OOFD and our programs as well as help us provide these incredibly low ticket prices to keep our rides, prices, and organization radically inclusive.

Middle School Law Camp | Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
Jul 28, 2025 (UTC-5)
Chicago
If you have been thinking about ways to take action and make a positive impact lately, the Community Involvement Committee has the perfect opportunity for you. Join us in volunteering to engage with students at a Middle School Law Camp hosted by Just the Beginning, a pipeline organization that seeks to nurture interest in the law among young people from socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds underrepresented in the legal profession. ChiWIP volunteers will work with students on the Intellectual Property Creation Lab portion of the camp, which is arranged by LegallyBlack, an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between IP law and communities of color. Following a workshop on the fundamentals of IP, students will work in small groups with ChiWIP volunteers to design their own original “creation.” Each team will develop key brand elements and identify the types of IP protection their creation would need, gaining a real-world understanding of how IP law protects creativity and innovation. We can’t wait to get students excited about IP law and plant the seed that a career in IP is possible for them. We hope you will join us! Volunteers will need to arrive no later than 1:30pm and the IP Creation Lab will wrap up at 4:00pm.
