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 Penn State athletic and recreational facilities are among the most outstanding facilities on any campus. Our enthusiastic Summer Enrichment 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-pong tournaments, discussion groups, hikes, an a capella singing group, lacrosse, tours of Beaver Stadium, 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!

SPORTS CLINICS

For those students who wish to hone their athletic skills beyond our recreational games, we offer specialized sports clinics in BASKETBALL, SOCCER, LACROSSE and VOLLEYBALL. TENNIS lessons are also available for those of any ability as well as access to our WEIGHT-TRAINING and conditioning facility: a superb 20,000 state-of-the-art fitness center. While there is no extra charge for recreational play (except golf greens fees) there is a supplemental fee for sports clinics, lessons & access to the fitness center.
