Hey, UBCO Community! As the days grow longer and signs of spring arrive, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of the fresh air and natural spaces around campus. Spending time outdoors not only boosts physical well-being but also enhances focus, mood, and social connection. Whether you're looking for a solo recharge or a group adventure, there are plenty of opportunities to get moving outside. Explore the university outdoor workout loop, located just east of the gymnasium, for a quick bodyweight circuit in the fresh air. Looking for a scenic escape? The hiking trails on campus offer beautiful views and provide a peaceful retreat from daily stress.
