Recreation and Wellness
oneColumn
The Department of Recreation and Wellness, known as RecWell, covers about 230 acres of the University of North Florida campus, has multiple facilities and fields, and is divided into these units: Aquatics, Fitness, Competitive Sports, Eco Adventure, Wellness, and Youth Programs Compliance. We employ nearly 20 full-time professional staff members across these units and approximately 200 student staff.
RecWell desires to serve our students and provide them opportunities to learn and grow. RecWell offers programs and services to balance the academic demands with outside-of-the-classroom opportunities to de-stress, build a strong mind and body, gain practical work experience, and to form lasting friendships and experiences that will bond them to our university.
