Beach Bonding Night is tomorrow, Wednesday, September 25th from 5pm-8pm on Friendship Walk. There will be food, opportunity drawing, arts and crafts, games, free food and MORE!

Beach Bonding Night is a celebration of hope and mental wellness where the campus community will have the opportunity to participate in a fun-filled evening. There will be wellness activities, campus resources, free food, and giveaways.  Our focus is on connecting and reconnecting with the community and the outdoors.

Passport for Food
Each student must check in at Ranger Station 1 or 2 to receive a passport. Students can use the passport to collect stamps from any campus partner table. They must collect 9 stamps in total to exchange their passport at either Ranger Station for a food ticket. Then, they can take their food ticket to the food truck to get their food. We will have food from Baby’s Burger Food Truck (veggie options are available).

Opportunity Drawing
Students will receive an opportunity drawing ticket when they present their completed passport at either Ranger Station. To encourage participation at our camp sites, completing a camp site activity will earn one extra opportunity drawing ticket. We will be giving swag bags with various prizes! Winners will be announced on Friday, September 27, via Project Ocean’s Instagram. Students will be able to pick up their prizes all week long during the following week, Monday to Friday, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at Project Ocean’s office in USU-309.
