regular exercise can help prevent diseases, control your weight, increase strength, improve stamina, help you sleep better, and just make you feel better in general

RELAXATION- Calm your mind, and

you’ll lower your blood pressure GROUP PARTICIPATION -

Participating in any kind of group activity— a class, theatrical production, community league sport, or pick-up game, has all kinds of benefits. Group activities help you build your social skills and social networks.

Sharon was awarded the “Recreation Member of the Year” for her exemplary enthusiasm toward CAU Recreation. After receiving the reward Sharon said, “I feel very happy, surprised, and excited to win the award!” Sharon also indicated that Medieval Times is one of her favorite recreation activities as well as going out to eat at Red Lobster and The Olive Garden with her friends. For the future , she would love to return to Hershey Park, attend an indoor water park at a lodge, and even take a trip to Jamaica! Finally, Sharon said , “The people are the best at CAU!!” She appreciates everything CAU has to offer. Thank you Sharon for being such a wonderful spirit!
