Socialization and exercise and recreation is fundamental to our health.
And we put a significant importance on the ability to do that and we’re doing as many
activities as we can to continuously engage with students and provide those opportunities.
We have the aquatic and fitness center open as well as north grounds fitness center.
We spent the summer planning to meet the state requirements for ten feet of distancing while
exercising, so we've converted the basketball here at AFC as well as North Grounds to host
all of our cardio equipment as well as some flexorized weight machines.
In a normal semester, we're offering intramural sports, such as flag football and soccer
and so on, but these sports are not able to comply with the proper distancing requirements,
so we are trying to provide opportunities for students to have healthy and safe outlets
through recreation and social engagement.
We have a roommate obstacle course coming, we have a kickball league happening as well
as volleyball and tennis, we have lots of outdoor hikes and outdoor opportunities with
our outdoor program, we had movie night in the pool last week, we have two more coming
up where we float on tubes in the pool and watch a movie on the big screen, we have an
upcoming zombie run for Halloween, we've got laser tag and Simon Says.
We're navigating each day as it comes with the regulations and the restrictions, and
trying to add an element of fun, despite it.
