Bring your furry friends to puppy paddle Dec. 13 in the Heskett Center

Campus Recreation is excited to invite you and your furry friends to Puppy Paddle from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 13 at the Heskett Center. This is your pup’s last chance to swim before the holiday break — and a perfect way to share a fun, active morning together.
