There are lots of opportunities for Sports. Informal soccer games are organized almost every evening. Students use the Bowdoin College facilities for tennis and swimming, and the volleyball net near the residence halls is always busy. You will have a chance to try the climbing wall, and to use the weight room. Other sports vary depending on student interest.
Students create their own activities as well.
Downtown Brunswick is a short stroll down the hill, and students can walk into town in the afternoon. On weekends, special activities are planned. There is always an overnight trip and there are days trips as well to Popham Beach, an afternoon in Portland, or to visit to nearby colleges. Family and Friends Weekend provides a chance for students' families to see what Upward Bound is all about. There is often a dance on Saturday night, and every Sunday, the Teaching Assistants stage a cookout for the entire program.
