From learning how to ride horses to developing arts and crafts skills, students can enjoy a wide variety of Campus Recreation and Unions programs to keep fit, have fun and broaden their horizons.

Activities include those in aquatics, fitness and wellness, intramural sports, Outdoor Adventures, the California Aggie Marching Band, the Craft Center, the MU Games Area and the Equestrian Center. And there are more opportunities in such pursuits as cycling, yoga, hiking, personal training, kayaking and woodworking. 

For those seeking the thrill of competition, the Sport Clubs program fields 36 teams in everything from ice hockey to Ultimate Frisbee, softball, rugby, badminton, boxing, soccer and Taekwondo, among others. Two club teams — women’s lacrosse and women’s water polo — won national championships in May.
