Recreation and Wellness

General Information

In Recreation and Wellness we aim to provide quality programming and activities that will help students stay fit and active while preparing to follow God's calling. We agree with Herophilus, the ancient greek doctor, who said “When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless and intelligence cannot be applied.” Our mission statement is: “The NCU Department of Recreation and Wellness provides excellent sport, fitness and wellness programs that enhance student experience while generating positive and sustainable lifestyle habits.”

This is a canoe, kayak, and rowing rental minutes from NCU.  They offer guided tours as well.  A fun and relatively cheap way to get out and see Minneapolis from a different perspective!

If you are interested in a general overview of how to use the excercise bands in the back room of the fitness center, check out these videos.

This disc golf store in Roseville (by the Acorn Park disc golf course) is giving any college student from North Central that shows them their ID, 10% off the total price of merchandise.  They also have a program which is spend $100 get $10 back, so if you are looking to buy discs, they are the place to shop.  They are also a wealth of information about DiscGolf in the cities.  Check them out!

Go to this site for information about other disc golf courses in Minnesota and around the country.
