Recreation and Entertainment

Conferences are an excellent opportunity to share ideas, build connections and recharge. But hard work should be rewarded-West Virginia University’s campuses offer plenty of ways to relax and enjoy yourself outside of regular conference meetings and activities. Check out some of our top recreation and entertainment options below to make the most of your visit!

Planning structured opportunities and free-time activities during times when participants are not directly involved in program activities is strongly encouraged for organizations hosting youth groups. The recreation and entertainment opportunities below may be great options for creating structured activities outside of conference events.
