Get ready to stretch beyond your comfort zone. You and other incoming Ball State students can embark on one of three outdoor adventure trips sponsored by the Office of Recreation Services. Students will have the opportunity to whitewater raft on the New River in scenic West Virginia and conquer the basic challenges of rafting, mountaineering, and teambuilding at the ACE Adventure Center.
During your outdoor adventure trips, you will have the opportunity to meet and connect with other new students, learn more about your upcoming college experience, and enjoy some exciting outdoor recreation activities. It’s the perfect way to jump start your life as a student at Ball State. Space is limited to 17 students per session.
