Whether it’s intramural sports or outdoor adventures, Catawba students can stay fit and have fun. Be inspired to live a sustainable, healthy and active lifestyle through campus and community engagement.

On Campus

On Campus

Test your skills with Teqball, enjoy disc golf, a game of cornhole, a workout on the FitGround, cruising a bike around our beautiful campus, or the sand between your toes at the beach volleyball court. There are plenty of rainy-day recreation options as well, such as indoor racquetball courts, indoor swimming pool, and the cardio and weight training facilities at the Wellness Center

Join your friends in the game room at the student center for some indoor fun with a friendly game of table tennis, air hockey, or pool. Or, just kick back and flex your mental muscles and dexterity with the fun and challenge courtesy of the Catawba Anime and Gaming Club or Chess Club.

Off campus, you can go hiking or camping in the mountains with Catawba Outdoor Adventures (COA), explore the largest natural habitat zoo in America, take a road trip to the beach or a short drive to the U.S. Whitewater Center.

More of a thrill seeker? Take on the exciting roller coasters at Carowinds amusement park or test your problem-solving skills at one of the many themed escape rooms within driving distance of campus.
