Campus Recreation at SOU
There’s a lot more to college than just going to class and hitting the books. Campus Recreation at Southern Oregon University provides spaces and programs for students, faculty, and staff members to connect with community and experience peak wellness.
Pacific Northwest Welcome
The Outdoor Program is excited to bring you the inaugural Pacific Northwest Welcome (PNW). The PNW is a first-year experience focused on exploring outdoor recreation opportunities around Ashland. Spend the days before the start of the term hiking and biking, learning to rock climb, or exploring downtown Ashland and Lithia Park. Each PNW trip will provide opportunities to meet current Outdoor Program staff, learn more about recreation at SOU, and form a community with your fellow incoming students. These trips are social-distancing friendly, and accessible from campus by foot or bike.
Student Recreation Center
The SRC is the hub of Campus Recreation at SOU. This brand new, 50,000 square foot facility features a variety of workout spaces and top-of-the-line exercise equipment. From the fitness floor to the climbing wall, you’ll find your perfect place to break out of your comfort zone and reach your goals.
Intramurals & Sport Clubs
Campus Recreation offers two types of organized recreational sports: Intramurals and Sport Clubs. Gather a group of friends and form an intramural team, or join a Sport Club and develop your leadership and team-building skills. Sport Clubs and Intramurals are open to all skill levels.
Outdoor Program
Embark on a new adventure with the SOU Outdoor Program. Learn to rock climb at the Climbing Center or explore Oregon on a student-led adventure trip. Plus, students and community members can rent all the high-quality outdoor gear you need to get outside on your own time.
Wellness
Campus Recreation is dedicated to creating a culture of wellness at SOU. We offer a variety of programs and services including fitness classes, a relaxation room, and a wellness blog, to help our members engage with the different dimensions of wellness and connect with their peers.
