RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Each and every day, when classes are through, we offer a wide variety of planned activities for the athlete or artist alike. The extensive UC Boulder athletic and recreational facilities are among the most outstanding facilities on any campus. Our enthusiastic Summer Study staff enjoys the fun right along with you as you take part in... Poetry readings, kickball games, tie-dye workshops, pick-up games in volleyball, softball, basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, improvisation workshops, ping-ping tournaments, discussion groups, hikes, an a capella singing group, lacrosse, rock band, and much, much more.

The students who enjoy themselves the most are those who take full advantage of the opportunities. Participation is the key!
