As the title of the course implies, this class focuses on recreational physical activities. Projected activities will expose students to fitness options which are popular in our region of the country, and try to expose students a broad spectrum of activities so they may find new ways to stay healthy outside of school. Students will enjoy some traditional PE units while experiencing new activities also.

Anticipated Activities: Archery, Badminton, Boating (kayaking/canoeing), Bocce ball, Bowling, Cross-Fit, Dancing, Disc-Golf, Fitness, Golf, Handball, Hiking, Lacrosse, Orienteering, Pickleball, Rock Climbing, Scavenger Hunts, Snowshoeing, Soccer, Soccer-Golf, Speedball, Speedminton, Tennis, Triathlon, Ultimate Frisbee, Volleyball, & Yoga. *Please note that some of these activities depend on weather conditions and funding, thus the ‘anticipated’ element.
