Family Weekend is an excellent reason to visit campus, reconnect with your student, meet other families and show your Missouri State pride. It is also the perfect way to allow your family/friends to experience the Foster Recreation Center! Guests are welcome to use workout equipment, go rock climbing, attend BearFit classes, enjoy a Dive-In Movie at the pool, & more!

Eggstravaganza
Help the Foster Recreation Center ring in the Spring by going on an egg hunt in the facility! With over 200 hidden eggs, you are bound to find one. Each egg holds a special ticket; turn it in to redeem your prize. One lucky person will pick the "GOLDEN TICKET" egg, which offers a grand prize! Only one egg per person, so make sure to hunt quickly!
Wellness Expo
The annual Wellness Expo gives students the opportunity to recognize where campus departments fit within the 8 dimensions of wellness. Departments from all over campus come together to inform Missouri State students and members of the Foster Recreation Center.
