Backpack in Patagonia
Embark with UK Campus Recreation in partnership with NOLS, on an unforgettable 7-day backpacking expedition through the breathtaking Cerro Castillo mountains — one of Chilean Patagonia’s best-kept secrets. Often compared to the famous Torres del Paine, yet far less traveled, Cerro Castillo offers a raw, immersive experience in a landscape of towering spires, turquoise glacial lakes, hanging glaciers, and dense lenga forests.
Campus Recreation Expansion Updates
The Johnson Center will look a little different this year as exciting construction is already underway to expand and improve your recreation spaces. Our doors are open, our team is ready, and we can’t wait to see you back in the gym, on the courts, and in classes.
Let's Team Up!
Planning a meeting, retreat, or group event? UK Campus Recreation offers customized programming for student organizations, residence halls, academic departments, and staff teams of all sizes.
"I challenge myself every day to make prioritizing all dimensions of health my number one priority. I do this because I value myself, my body, and my mind. I was created to be here and am working/constantly leveling up to living at my full potential, while feeling and looking my best!"

“We all have strength, physical and mental. Improving my mental strength has helped improve my physical strength. And that’s why I challenge myself, because then it reinforces that, yes, I can.”
