Trips

Take a break from campus and studies to enjoy nature, learn about American culture, and meet friends!


Lake of the Woods in Mahomet, IL
(about 15 minutes from campus)

We take an annual trip out to the Lake of the Woods to enjoy nature and spending time together! We will be playing Frisbee, volleyball, football, and hanging out with friends.  If you have a favorite outdoor game feel free to bring it along!  It is a beautiful spot to relax from classes and to get to see some of Illinois outside of campus.  There will be snacks provided but please eat lunch before you come! In addition, many of us will go to dinner afterward and we are planning on going to Golden Harbor on Neil and Springfield.  If you plan on joining us for dinner please bring cash to pay for dinner.
