A group of students took a trip to Evergreen Lake with the Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP) to ice skate and play broomball this last weekend. OAP provides students with the opportunity to get off campus and enjoy the outdoors with student staff led trips. These trips range from varying skill levels but all with the hopes of giving students a safe and enjoyable time. At Evergreen Lake people played broomball and ice skated. For those unfamiliar with broomball, it is basically hockey, however, without skates or a stick. You use a broom to pass a ball while wearing street shoes but on ice.

               Yesterday, Regis’ Outdoor Activity Program, OAP, hosted a “Hammock-In” Movie on the beach. Before the movie students were able to play corn-hole, swing in hammocks, and of course there was plenty of pizza to go around.

               The movie of the night was “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” starring Ben Stiller. Based off of the short story by James Thurber, the film follows the life of Ben Stiller a day-dreamer who uses his fantasy world to escape the dreary humdrum of everyday life until one day he’s forced to embark on a real-world adventure across the world that is far more exciting than anything he could have ever imagined.

               The event was held in conjunction with the Outdoor Nation Competition, a challenge between colleges and universities across the United States. “This week is hammock week so we decided to make it accessible and easy for everyone to get involved and be here,” said Ryan Harris, a junior at Regis and a member of OAP.
