Mission Statement: The Norwich University Fins & Feathers was informally established with a single boat in 2014 by several alumni with a passion for fishing. Now it has grown into a multiple event and multi-region sportsman’s gathering that encourages participants to foster an appreciation for friendship, camaraderie, and our Norwich Values.
Events have been defined as Fins (fishing gatherings) or Feathers (hunts). It provides a gathering alternative for friends of Norwich that do not golf.
All proceed from Fins & Feathers events go to areas of need at Norwich University.
