Active living drop-in programs

Looking for an easy way to get active? Our active living drop-in programs make it simple to move, connect, and try something new. No membership is required. If you haven't already, create an Xplor Recreation account and complete the required waiver before attending.

Designed to reduce barriers to participation, these sessions are open to all UFV students, regardless of ability or fitness level. Whether you're looking to meet new people, take a break from studying, or discover a new activity, our free drop-in programs provide a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment where everyone belongs.

Most active living drop-in programs are offered on Wednesdays throughout the semester and include a variety of wellness activities, recreational sports, and instructional programs.

Instructional Programs

Discover new ways to stay active, build confidence, and develop your skills through our instructional programs. Whether you're trying an activity for the first time or returning to a favourite activity, these instructor-led sessions provide a fun, welcoming, and supportive environment for participants of all experience levels.

Some programs require pre-registration, which will be clearly indicated on the Xplor Recreation Portal. Registration may be required due to program costs or to ensure there are enough participants for the session to run. Other activities are offered as drop-in opportunities, giving you the flexibility to participate when it fits your schedule.

All programs are designed to help you learn new skills, stay active, and connect with the UFV community.

Are you new or returning to physical activity?

We welcome everyone to take part in our programs, which are open to all fitness levels. Physical activity offers many benefits for both physical and mental health, even small amounts can make a difference. While being active is safe for most people, we recommend checking with your doctor before starting a new routine or increasing your activity level.
