Youth sailing and paddling summer camps on
Lake Merced
Faculty and staff are invited to enroll their children ages 8-15 for the SF State Summer Community Youth Sailing and Paddling Camps. At the camps, children will learn about sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddle-boarding safety and activity skills as well as learn about the wildlife of beautiful Lake Merced near the main campus. The program is popular because of its proximity, low cost and high quality.
The program offers half-day Monday-Friday youth Sailing Camps and half-day youth Paddling Camps and the Lake Environment Camps. The sailing and kayaking camps can be combined into an adventurous full-day multi-activity camp.
A full-day, week-long Sailing and Science Camp is also available for youth 8-12, which places a special emphasis on learning science through sailing and other fun hands-on activities.
Participants in the weeklong day camps will not only have fun, be taught safe operation of small boats and learn about the lake's wildlife, they will also gain self-confidence, practice teamwork and socialize with other campmates.
For information or to make a reservation, visit the Recreation Department website.

Mashouf Wellness Center to break ground June 25
The campus community is invited to attend the Mashouf Wellness Center groundbreaking ceremony at 11 a.m. on Thursday, June 25, at the corner of Font and Lake Merced boulevards. Email Inez Bomar for more event information or disability accommodations.
The Mashouf Wellness Center will be the first major facility to be built at SF State in more than a decade. Funding for construction of the $86.5 million facility was secured from student fees and private donations, including leadership support from SF State alumnus Manny Mashouf, who with his family, made the largest individual donation in SF State's history. SF State's Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) endorsed honoring Mr. Mashouf for his generosity.
The state-of-the-art recreational complex will incorporate the latest advances in sustainable building technologies that increase building lifespan and reduce operating costs through energy, water and maintenance savings. When completed in early 2018, it is expected to earn a LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Platinum rating -- the highest designation for sustainable construction.
The two-story facility will feature an indoor jogging track, fitness and weight areas, pools, a sauna, a climbing wall, racquetball courts, multi-use courts, fitness studios and a large multi-use space, which will host indoor soccer and other sports as well as student events such as lectures and dances.
