Fall Break Activities

Starting this Friday, UW-Stevens Point will offer its first Fall Wellness Break. This initiative, created through the Student Government Association, takes place from Oct. 25-27, with no classes on Friday (with some exceptions) and no projects, assignments, exams or other assessments due during this time. 

We encourage you to take advantage of this break to focus on your physical and mental health. Handling the day-to-day responsibilities of college can be stressful, so taking time to recharge your batteries and relax is important. This might include reading, exercising, traveling, spending time with family and friends, volunteering or enjoying nature.  

Opportunities on campus include visiting one of our recreational facilities, such as the open gym, climbing wall or Allen Center. Attend an activity found on the SPIN Network or listed below. Enjoy the more than five miles of walking trails in Schmeeckle Reserve or some of the 27-miles of hiking and biking trails along the Green Circle in Stevens Point.
