Recreation

A full-time Recreation Specialist is available to provide a variety of resources, programs, activities, and supplies for students to access during their free time.

Each year, current students help to create the recreation program by suggesting activities of interest. A variety of activities are available including barbecues, campfires, and field trips to local and regional points of interest, weekly pool and poker tournaments, board game nights, minute-to-win-it games, D&D, and Nerf wars.

A full-size gymnasium, with four indoor climbing wall pitches, a racquetball court, multi-purpose room with mats for yoga, dance & stretching, and a wellness center with machine and free weights and cardio equipment is located in the Student Services Center. The Recreation program provides equipment for basketball, volleyball, floor hockey, dodge ball, pickle ball and roller skating.

A ceramics/arts & crafts studio, snack bar, and student lounge are also available. There is an auditorium where students may watch movies, sports, and Pay-Per-View sporting events on the 10 foot screen. The Recreation program offers the use of guitars, board games and supplies for knitting, crocheting and beading.

The Seward area offers students a variety of year-round outdoor recreation activities, such as hiking, cross country skiing, snowboarding, fishing, biking, and kayaking. Students may access the free rental of camping gear, snowshoes, snowboards, fishing gear, and bicycles in the Recreation Specialist office in the AVTEC Student Service Center.
