Wildcat Recreation Center

The Wildcat Recreation Center (WREC) offers one-stop shopping for students' exercise and recreation needs. Opened in August 2009, the 130,000-sq.-ft. facility boasts tons of weight and cardio equipment, four group exercise rooms, indoor running track, pool and spa, 35-foot climbing wall and bouldering arch, three basketball courts, and a multi-activity court.

The WREC is a program of the Associated Students and funded by student fees. There is no additional membership cost.

Recreational Sports runs out of the WREC, giving intramural sports and sport club opportunities to thousands of students. Intramural leagues compete against other Chico State students. Sport clubs are student-run sports teams and operate at either a recreational or competitive level.

The WREC works closely with Adventure Outings, which offers students more than 40 outdoor trips each semester. AO also provides equipment rentals and bike repair services.

Student life at California State University, Chico doesn't end in the classroom. Chico State offers 240 student clubs and organizations. By becoming involved in co-curricular activities, students can gain a sense of belonging and better enjoy a well-rounded college experience.

Clubs, Organizations, Activities

Clubs range from specific majors to religions to athletics, providing an excellent way for students to meet others with similar interests. If there isn't a club already established that a student wishes to join, Chico State encourages students to start their own clubs. Most clubs accept students of any class level. Sororities and fraternities provide another option for student involvement at Chico State. For more information visit Chicos Students Activites Website. 

Community Involvement

Community service organizations at Chico State provide yet another way for students to get involved. Students can volunteer their time with a variety of groups, including Community Action Volunteers in Education (CAVE), Community Legal Information Center (CLIC), and Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE). Please visit the Associated Students page for more information.

Athletics

The appeal of Chico State athletics is the opportunity for student-athletes to compete at a high level while pursuing a quality education. The overriding factor in our athletic success is the Chico Experience: an almost indefinable mood which makes the student-athlete perceive Chico as "home," not just a place to go to school. This factor, along with excellent coaching and fine facilities, has contributed to Chico's reputation of one of the top NCAA Division II athletic programs in the nation.
