Outdoor Programs
Bridgewater College is committed to providing fun-filled, educational and challenging adventures to all members of the BC community regardless of skill level.
Some of the Mid-Atlantic's best locations for rock climbing, hiking, white water rafting, mountain biking, canoeing and skiing are just short drives from the BC campus. Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Park, Dolly Sods and North River are some of these destinations for adventure, as well as the ski areas of Massanutten, Snowshoe and Wintergreen.
