Wellness and well-being are intrinsically linked in fueling a positive learning experience. We are committed to promoting a healthier community that allows Kenyon students, faculty and staff to perform at the peak of their abilities.

The 265,000 square-foot Lowry Center features an Olympic-sized pool, indoor track, weight room, basketball/volleyball court, tennis courts, squash courts, multipurpose rooms for fitness and dance classes, study lounges and even a movie theater.

The Lords swimming and diving team has taken home 34 NCAA Division III national trophies, while the Ladies swimming and diving program owns 23 championships.
Built alongside the former Pennsylvania Railroad, the 14-mile-long Kokosing Gap Trail is ideal for bicycling, walking, jogging and rollerblading. It’s also a great place to spot wildlife, including white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and bald eagles.

Rugby, squash and Frisbee—oh my! Approximately 30 percent of Kenyon students compete on one of our 22 athletic teams or intramural teams.
