volleyball, tennis, volleyball, flag-football, basketball, softball, golf, bowling. Intramurals is a great way to find your home away from home. You will meet new people with the same interests and continue playing the sports you have grown to love. The intramural staff is dedicated to serving the student body. The staff organizes the leagues, supervises plays, monitors and tracks league standings, and organizes the tournaments; all you have to do is PLAY. Mountain Trail Outfitters Over the years Bluefield College has purchased [or had donated] an abundance of outdoor equipment that has been stored in numerous locations throughout the campus. Because the equipment has not had a general storage location for students, faculty, and staff to go for checking the equipment in and out, much of the gear has been misused, not returned or properly maintained, and many times people are not aware the College even has the equipment for use. Now that we have a key location on campus where everyone can come to pick-up and return the gear through a checkout process we will be able to store, maintain, and inventory the equipment on a regular basis.  MOUNTAIN TRAIL OUTFITTERS is for EVERYONE at Bluefield College. Please feel free to drop by MTO and check out the inventory we have on hand and will continue to try to increase as budget allows. Please e-mail David Taylor (dtaylor@bluefield.edu) or Kelly Bittler (kbittler@bluefield. edu) if you are interested in reserving gear. All students, staff and faculty will be required to sign liability release forms when using some of the equipment. New Student Adventures New Student Adventures was unveiled during the fall 2013 semester to get new freshman students acclimated with the beautiful region that Bluefield College claims home to. All new, first time college students enrolling at the beginning of each academic school year must sign up for an activity. Transportation, meals, and activity fees will be provided by Bluefield College. Bluefield College partners with Adventures on the Gorge. Adventures on the Gorge is America’s premier adventure resort. Adventures on the Gorge is perched on the very rim of West Virginia’s magnificent New River Gorge, adjacent to the National Park and mere minutes from Fayetteville, and the New River Gorge Bridge. Students can choose between multiple adventures such as: • Rafting • Rock Climbing • Paint Ball • Mountain Biking • Tree Tops Canopy Tour • Gravity Zipline • Timber Trek Adventure Park • Team Challenge Students will have the opportunity to register for New Student Adventures during RAM Day events. Registration typically opens the end of May and closes on new student move-in day.
