Congratulations to our June 2026 Student Employees of the Month! 🎉

Thank you for your outstanding dedication, leadership, and commitment to RecWell! Your hard work and passion help create positive experiences for the Kent State community every day. 💙💛

🛶 Your summer adventure awaits! Grab a paddle, enjoy the views, and spend your weekend exploring the Cuyahoga River! ☀️🌿🌊

This trip will be held locally on the Cuyahoga River. We will meet at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center (or you can meet us at Kramer Fields-just let us know ahead of time!). From there, we will paddle to Brust Park in Munroe Falls. We will then take the shuttle back to the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. A staff member will be with you on the water for the entire trip. The trip is 4.0 miles long, is beginner friendly and no prior experience is needed.

The fee includes transportation, all equipment and instruction. Shoes that will stay on your feet required (no flip flops)!
