Set sail for an unforgettable night as we launch Opening Weekend with Raid the Rec—your all-access pass to fun, community, and high-energy entertainment at the ESRC! From the moment you walk in, you’ll be immersed in an electrifying atmosphere designed to help you connect, relax, and celebrate the start of something exciting.
Throughout the facility, you’ll find a wide variety of activities to match every interest. Challenge yourself on the indoor climbing wall, bounce into fun with inflatable attractions, and test your knowledge through interactive trivia and bingo games with chances to win prizes. Whether you’re competitive, adventurous, or just looking to relax, there’s something for everyone.
Take a break and reset with well-being activities designed to help you recharge both mentally and physically. It’s a great opportunity to explore campus resources, unwind, and focus on self-care in a welcoming environment.
Best of all, everything is completely FREE for students—no registration, no tickets, just bring your ECU 1 Card, show up and join the fun. Bring your friends or come ready to make new ones as you experience one of the most exciting kickoff events of the semester.
Enjoy this recap from last year.
