UNC Bears Finding movement and exercise I enjoy

One of the things we love about Colorado and our campus is the opportunities to move and explore. Exercise and movement come in many forms--from lifting to group classes to outdoor activities to walking around campus. Find the thing that makes you feel good: whatever it is!

UNC Campus Recreation

Campus Recreation provides facilities, activities, and services for every ability level and is open to students, faculty, and friends of UNC. Join an intramural or club sport, and participate in group fitness classes. The Rec Center provides a supportive environment for everyone.

Did you know you can also work at the Campus Rec Center!

Outdoor pursuits

The Outdoor Pursuits program provides opportunities for outdoor education and leadership experiences through the Outdoor Pursuits Ropes Course, Climbing Wall, and offers trips and workshops.

OP also sponsors a free campus bike program to help you get around. Visit the Bike Rental page and click on the "Bike Rental Request" link on the right to submit your bike rental request. Then you are off to the races!

Other activities on campus

Check out these additional activities:

eSports

The UNC eSports Club competes in four games throughout the collegiate scene: League of Legends, Overwatch, Counter-Strike, and Rocket League.

Disc golf

Disc golf is a flying disc game for all ages, in which individual players throw a disc at a chain-link target. The object, like in standard golf, is to traverse the 14-hole course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws.

The course is open during daylight hours to the public. Follow the Disc Golf course map or just start playing. You might even run into President Feinstein, your professors, or Clawz out on the course.

Tree tour

Spend an afternoon walking around campus on our self-guided tree tour! In the fall you can see the colors change and in the spring check out the new blossoms. As you walk around look for the blue markers and reference the trail map for information on the plants. Visit the Campus Tree Trails website for trail maps and more information!

Trees that are selected for the trails reflect Colorado native trees, historically significant trees, state champion trees, unique trees, and trees that have significant horticultural value, such as flowering, ornamental, shade, and special plantings.
