Whitewater is a great place to be active and get outdoors. Depending on the season, there are great opportunities for hiking, snowboarding, skiing, hang-gliding, golf ing or mini-golfing, paint-balling, or canoeing. Links are available HERE<\/a>\u00a0for more information about these activities. The Spring 2016 Whitewater Parks & Recreation Guide<\/a> has even more fun outdoor activities listed such as Freeze Fest 2016, Ice Skating at Big Brick Park on West Center Street, fitness classes, Adult Open Gym, and more!<\/p>\n

Not the outdoorsy type? If you prefer to access an affordable fitness facility there are options such as the University Fitness Center<\/a> or the Whitewater Aquatic & Fitness Center<\/a>. Even if you don\u2019t buy an on-campus gym membership (for the weight room and group fitness classes), you can still use the pool, fieldhouse and racquetball courts at the Williams Center during open recreation.<\/p>\n

Join Working for Whitewater\u2019s Wellness (W3) for the 5th<\/sup> annual W3llfest<\/a> on March 13, 2016 from 1-4pm. Event takes place at the Whitewater High School and features a resource fair, fitness classes, gardening and cooking demos, health screenings, and info sessions. Healthy snack samples and free childcare are provided.<\/p>\n

Why not catch a film?\u00a0<\/strong>On Monday, March 7th, the student organization, P.E.A.C.E.<\/a>\u00a0will host a screening of \u00a0That Sugar Film: One man\u2019s journey to discover the bitter truth about sugar.<\/a>\u00a0Director Damon Gameau follows the Supersize Me playbook, documenting the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body by consuming only foods that are commonly perceived as \u2018healthy\u2019. As noted in a the New York Times review<\/a>, the “breezy blend of computer imagery, musical numbers, sketches and offbeat field trips makes the nutrition lessons easy to digest.”<\/p>\n

Catch this film screening in Summers Auditorium in the University Center, Monday, March 7th, at 5:30 pm.
