The Geography Club is open to all students who are interested in geography, regardless of whether or not they are geography majors. Geography Club activities typically include a fall and spring picnic, bowling, and field trips to places of geographical interest. Past trips have included a waterfall tour of the local area and a canoe trip on the Mississippi River from downtown Minneapolis through two locks to Hidden Falls Park in St. Paul.

On March 29, 1998, a mile-wide tornado devastated the Gustavus campus. Students were on break at the time and no one was hurt, but the tornado caused $50 million in damage, broke 80% of the windows on campus, and destroyed 90% of the trees. Despite the damage, the college was re-opened just 23 days after the devastating event.
