While Brooks students do have busy schedules, they always seem to find time to enjoy a little bit of what the community and school has to offer. The Institute sponsors a variety of activities in which students are able to participate, including a coed softball and men and women's soccer teams. Student Services also plans movie nights, kayaking trips and several day hikes throughout the year. Most recently, 7 students learned to rock climb, 10 students participated in a ski trip to one of California's premier winter sports destinations, Mammoth Lakes, and 30 students learned to surf.
