For students who have been living in a hidey-hole of homework, it’s time to give your brain a break and enjoy some of the activities available at CSUSM. The Campus Recreation department of Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) offers many fun and inexpensive opportunities to meet fellow students and enrich your ‘college experience’ with some positive, good times.

So far this semester, students have been to Medieval Times, gone indoor rock climbing, and taken a snow and ski trip to Big Bear Mountain—all at deeply discounted prices—through excursions with ASI campus recreation. Remaining excursions include the Outdoor Spring Break (a weeklong adventure to Moab, Arches, Zion and Bryce National Parks) from March 19 – 25, indoor sky diving on April 9, and horseback riding on April 23. These events fill up quickly, so interested students must sign up soon at the campus recreation office in The Clarke room 119. More details are available at www.csusm.edu/rec/excursions.

Intramural sports this spring include coed arena soccer, men’s basketball, coed dodgeball, disc golf, and women’s powderpuff. Sign-ups for Disc golf and powderpuff will open from March 28 – April 13 in the campus recreation office. Game dates and participation information are available at www.csusm.edu/rec/intramurals.

Steven Greene, coordinator for ASI campus recreation, encourages everyone to join the fun and see what “campus rec” has to offer. “Campus Recreation continues to grow each semester. Come check out the new events we have planned, it’s a good way to get away from school work for a few hours and relieve your daily stress,” Greene said.

ASI campus recreation also offers fitness classes that are free to CSUSM students and $50 for faculty and staff. Classes include Ashtanga Yoga, core strength, indoor cycling, hip-hop, zumba, salsa, circuit training, Jiu-Jitsu, running, and Ab Blast. The Pride featured a fitness class calendar in the February 22 issue; a complete calendar and additional information are available at www.csusm.edu/rec/fitnessclasses.
