Clemson Families,
The start of a new year is always a great time to remind you of the amazing opportunities we have within Campus Recreation for your student. Immediately below is an overview of the programs, services and facilities we encourage your student to take advantage
of this spring semester.
- The start of the semester has seen a steady increase in traffic at the Douthit Hills Fitness Center.
Remember, the facility is not exclusive to Douthit residents — it is open to all students! Group fitness and cycling classes are also offered in addition to a variety of strength
training and cardio equipment.
- We anticipate soon opening the championship field at the Snow Family Outdoor Fitness and Wellness Center. Intramural soccer will highlight the first usage for this exciting
new facility. And while intramurals are the priority for the fields at the Snow Center, the spaces are reservable on weekends for Club Sports, many of which are conducting tryouts at the beginning of
the semester.
- Speaking of intramurals, we are excited to partner with the PRTM department on campus to hold a wheelchair basketball league. What started as a pilot in the fall will now feature a full
regular season schedule with an integrated approach to fitness and research, focusing on perceptions of students with disabilities.
- Clemson Outdoor Recreation and Education (CORE) has a temporary home at the Snow Center, but we will soon be pouring the foundation for a brand-new Outdoor Education Center, slated for
completion this fall. CORE has full-time and student staff on site who issue rentals and serve as trip leaders. Encourage your student to sign up for exciting
spring break trips today!
- One of the most popular programs has been the addition of F45,
located on the lobby level of the Swann Fitness Center at Fike. Coaches encourage participants through 45-minute classes equipped with large video screens, allowing for students to
easily follow each movement. It has proven to add great value alongside the group fitness, functional training and personal training options traditionally offered at Fike.
These are simply a few of the things we have going on within Campus Rec. We believe personal well-being is critical to success in college, and our staff is here to support your student as they learn and grow throughout their Clemson Experience. Visit
our website to see all of the programs and facilities we have available.
Sincerely,
|

Black History Month February 2019
|
|
|
Founded as Negro History (and Literature) Week in 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Black History Month began as a way to highlight black progress following the Civil War and Reconstruction era. Currently, this month is a catalyst to celebrate and acknowledge
the achievements and struggles of African Americans and members of the African Diaspora. We encourage your students to take part in the celebration and events put
on for
Black History Month.
