Home / Wellness & recreation classes

What is offered

Yoga, strength training, guided meditation, climbing, kayaking on the Porter River and winter cross-country skiing all run as scheduled classes rather than only informal open-gym time, taught by trained student and staff instructors.

Who it is for

No experience or equipment is required for beginner sessions; equipment rental is included in the class fee. Employees and Porter Falls community members can register for a modest fee that helps fund the free student sessions.

In and around Porter Falls

Support at Porter is deliberately clustered on the first two levels of Halvorsen Library so a student can move from one kind of help to another without leaving the building or re-explaining the situation. Walk-in hours run late Monday through Thursday during the semester, and everything can also be booked through MyPorter.

The practical details

Cost: Free for students; small fee for employees and community members. Format: Drop-in and multi-week sessions. Where: Recreation Center and the Riverfront Trail. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.

If you have a question

The office behind this is Student Success Center (Halvorsen Library, Level 1). Call (715) 555–0170 or email success@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.

Fictional information

UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
