Intramural Sports Program:
Schedule- www.imleagues.com/CSUCI
The Intramural Sports Program provides all students with an opportunity to participate in organized sporting events, take part in various leisure activities and eventually gain access to the competitive sports club arena with one the finest and fastest growing sports club programs in the CSU system. This participation is governed only by the students’ time and interest. In addition to providing activities, equipment and facilities for students, the program also provides the same amenities for faculty and staff members who have obtained Dolphin Passport Memberships. Ability is not important; all a person needs is an interest in the activity and the desire to have fun participating. Outdoor Adventures:
Outdoor Adventures is a program committed to bring you a challenge. Whether it be mentally or physically, our classes and trips are bound to push you to your limits! We utilize natures resources, and experienced leaders to provide you with the best experience possible! Check out our dates for upcoming events. We hope to see you soon! Waterfront:
The CI Waterfront Program at Channel Islands Harbor offers various instructional and safety classes in kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, and rowing. These programs may be instructional, recreational or competitive in nature to promote and encourage recreation to all campus and community members. The program is dedicated to promoting boating safety and education, and is partially supported through funding from the California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW). The DBW funds boating facilities and boating safety education, and supports boating law enforcement in California. A portion of the equipment at the waterfront is provided by the DBW to enhance and teach boating safety education in California. Sports Clubs:
The strength of the sports club program relies solely on the students. A sports club is a group of students voluntarily organized for the purpose of furthering their common interests in an activity through participation and/or competition. Interests may be competitive, recreational, instructional or a combination of these. Clubs may represent the University in intraclub competition or conduct interclub activities such as practice, instruction, and social and tournament play. Sports clubs are designed to be a learning experience for the members through their involvement in leadership, sportsmanship, fundraising, public relations, organization, administration, budgeting, marketing, management and scheduling, as well as the development of physical skills in the particular sport. Involvement in a group and team situation helps enhance the student's overall education. Clubs may vary in focus and programming, even year to year, since the members are active participants in the leadership, responsibility and decision-making processes of the clubs' activities. All sports clubs must be "official" in order to be eligible for promotion, facility use and financial assistance at CI. Please contact the coordinator of Recreation Sports, Nathan Avery, at (805) 437-8902 or [email protected] if you have questions about starting a sports club.

Hello, my name is Selene Kelsey, and I’m a fifth-year Anthropology major.

Outside of work, you can find me watching Harry potter or Star Wars movies, hanging out with friends, grabbing coffee with my boyfriend, or spending time at the beach with friends.
This marks our final Meet the Staff post—thank you for following along! It’s been so much fun running this social media account and sharing all the amazing people who make our community special.

✨Meet the Staff ✨
Hello, my name is Ahoora, and I’m a second-year Computer Science student.
Working at the Rec has taught me that the little things go a long way, whether it’s keeping things running or stopping to chat when someone comes in. Every moment matters. Similar to my time in Greek Life, I’m trying to build a better community by connecting with people and being part of something bigger than myself.
Outside of work, you can find me at the gym, working on my car, or playing guitar.
