WELLNESS AT SCC
NATURE TRAIL
Encompassing our existing nature trail with newly added wooded sections linked
up with more urban sidewalks, we have created a scenic 1.89 mile loop around campus
for you to get out and enjoy. There are four trailheads at which to start, each with an informational kiosk and trail maps for you to use. These are located at the north corner of the Balsam Center, above Holt Library, at the water tower and on the road to the mainte- nance yard. Feel free to bring friends and family to enjoy all or part of our scenic mountain campus.
Rules of the Trail
• No alcohol, tobacco or drug use on college property
• Keep all pets on a leash
• No bikes or other off-road vehicles
• Please do not litter
• Beware of animals and hazardous plants
• Report any trail issues or problems to Campus Resource Officers
• Wear appropriate footwear and clothing
Please note that some parts of the Nature Trail may be closed due to road construction.
FITNESS CENTER
Located on the 2nd floor of Bradford Hall. Open (see schedule) to enrolled SCC students. State of the art cardiovascular equipment, free weights, yoga mats and balls.
WELLNESS PROGRAM
Wellness is the integration of five primary components of health: physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual. SCC encourages all students, faculty and staff to maintain a healthy balance among work, education and family responsibilities. SCC maintains a fitness center and gym located on the second floor of Bradford Hall. Those who wish to use the facility must sign in on each visit and submit a “release of activity waiver.” Students can also see their advisor to register for an appropriate physical education course.
