Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties Hosts Ice Skat­ing Event

MISHAWAKA–On Sun­day, Jan. 15, Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties hosted the an­nual Bethel skat­ing party at Howard Park. One of the more pop­u­lar events spon­sored by Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties and the Well­ness De­part­ment, this event has been a sta­ple of the spring se­mes­ter for quite a long time. Ac­cord­ing to Al­li­son Nicholas, who works with Cam­pus ac­tiv­i­ties, this event usu­ally sees around two hun­dred stu­dents in at­ten­dance, mak­ing it one of the most well-at­tended events in the aca­d­e­mic cal­en­dar. Fresh­men and sopho­mores at­tended at 8 p.m., while up­per­class­men at­tended the event at 9 p.m.  

It is only in more re­cent years that this event has been at Howard Park, a newer venue near down­town South Bend. This fa­cil­ity fea­tures both a large ice rink and an ice-skat­ing trail. “They’ve been great to work with,” Nicholas said. 

This event was free to stu­dents. 

“Stu­dents need not pay for most of these events that we [Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties] host,” Nicholas said. 

In the com­ing weeks, Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties will be host­ing a Mario Kart tour­na­ment on Jan. 20, as well as a life-sized Dutch Blitz on Jan. 27.
