High Ropes Course to Open at Lake Wauburg

UF and the Department of Recreational Sports announced in October that they plan to add a High Ropes and Elements Challenge Course to the activities that are offered at Lake Wauburg's South Shore.  

Located in Micanopy, several miles south of UF's main campus, Lake Wauburg is a retreat for students and provides facilities for outdoor recreation, team training, and personal improvement.  The North Shore features aquatic activities including sailing, swimming, canoeing, paddle boarding, water skiing, and wake boarding.  The South Shore is primarily used for team training exercises.

I have personally been to a number of team training days at Lake Wauburg and am always impressed with the offerings that are available.  The new High Ropes and Elements Challenge Course will expand the breadth of offerings at the South Shore and will benefit students and faculty, as well as groups that are not affiliated with UF.  You can find more information about RecSports's Outdoor Team Challenge Course HERE!

My History With Sports

Growing up, athletics was something that was always very important to me and still is to this day.

In high school, I played both softball and basketball. While in college, I was able to keep playing through RecSports’ intramural programs. I have participated as a member of Zeta Tau Alpha’s soccer and basketball teams as well as Senate’s softball and kickball teams.

Being a part of so many sports teams I have learned to be a team player. I have learned how to help focus the goals of many and work with individual talents in order to accomplish one goal, a skill that has aided me here in my work as a Student Senator and now as Student Body President.

Tomorrow, I will be competing in Senate’s first annual philanthropy, Spike It With Senate! While I’ve never played volleyball, I am excited at the opportunity to play alongside my peers and have fun doing it!
