Campus Recreation
Baylor Campus Recreation provides a welcoming environment where all students can learn new skills or hone those skills already familiar. We think learning happens best experientially and inspires wholeness in every area of life. Campus Rec believes our programs encourage the entire Baylor community to live active and healthy lives through sports and competition, discovery in the great outdoors, and achievement of personal fitness goals.
