[Activities] [Special Concert] [Bikes at IWU] [Marion] [Indy]


Activities

This is often an intense, emotional, and spiritual week for our delegates, so we look for locations that provide plenty of opportunities for fun and fellowship. Activities available at Indiana Wesleyan University include, pool tables, indoor and outdoor ropes challenge courses, an indoor rock wall, and a paint ball course. The challenge courses will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis at registration. If you are not allowed to reserve your spot online when registering, all spots are taken. Student Delegates between the ages of 18 – 25, will automatically have a spot reserved for these activities on youth day.

In the nearby area, there are horseback riding trails and guided trail rides with Guided Trail Rides, LLC. Click here for a brochure, or click on their name to visit the website.

There is a great coffee house and common areas throughout the campus for times of rest and fellowship.
