Have Fun & Blow Off Steam! Georgian College Activity Guide

Have Fun & Blow Off Steam! Georgian College Activity Guide

May 5, 2025 Posted by Georgian Green Lifestyle, Uncategorized No Comments

Are you a Georgian College student that needs a study break? Explore athletics, nightlife, nature, games, clubs, special events, and more!

College work can be challenging, but life at Georgian College doesn’t have to be all work and no play. Even the most dedicated student knows that study breaks are necessary. Fortunately, Georgian College, Georgian Green, and Barrie, Ontario offer lots of ways for students to blow off steam. Let’s look at ways that Georgian College students can unwind.

Sports and Recreation at Georgian College

One of the best ways to clear the mind is by getting a sweat going. The Georgian College Athletic and Fitness Centre is the perfect place to do so!

The fitness centre gives students an opportunity to lift weights and boost their cardio. Prefer playing sports? There are a wide range of recreational sports to drop in on as well, including basketball, badminton, volleyball, outdoor and indoor cricket, table tennis, floor hockey, outdoor and indoor soccer, pickleball, and backyard games.

The best part? Your membership is included in your student fees, so there is no additional cost.

If you prefer varsity sports, try out for one of the Georgian Grizzlies teams, or enjoy the action from the stands.

Get more information at the athletics website.

What Outdoor Activities are in Barrie, Ontario?

Have you been studying so much that you feel like your head is about to burst? Maybe some fresh air is just what you need. Fortunately, you have options!

Little Lake is just a five minute walk from campus. Enjoy the picnic park and beach area, or take a hike on one of the trails. You’ll feel the stress disappearing in no time.

If you’re looking for a bit more water, try Barrie’s famous Waterfront Area. Features of the area include beaches, food and beverage, onshore and offshore recreation, art, and a network of trails. Wi-Fi is free along the waterfront, and Georgian College students can get there for free on the bus! (Transit pass is included in student fees)

The area also features several ski resorts, ensuring that you’ll be able to enjoy the great outdoors year round!

What Are the Best Bars at Georgian College and in Barrie, Ontario?

Maybe it’s music, socializing, and a drink that you’re after. Once again, you’ve got options.

If you’re looking for a place to relax on campus, try The Last Class, a fully licensed restaurant and pub that was started by students, is owned and operated by students, and is for students. Find it on the first floor of the J building.

Queens Nightclub describes itself as an upbeat destination for global pub grub and live music. (And, according to one RA, it’s got the best prices and hottest DJs in town)

If line dancing is more your style, try Canada’s largest country bar, the Ranch 2.0.

If you like craft beer, give the Flying Monkey a try.

Kenzington Burger Bar has burgers, drinks, and live music. Really, what else do you need?

Looking for a place to chat over a beer? North Country serves some of the best BBQ in the area.

In fact, there’s a whole strip of bars downtown where you can party the night away. Just don’t be late for class in the morning!

Games, Games, Games

Video gamers will find stress relief by sampling the arcades at the Last Level Lounge or the Rec Room, while board gamers will enjoy the selection at the Freaky Wizard coffee shop and board game café. Bowlerama Barrie will give you the opportunity to knock down some pins, while those who prefer a game of pool will find Alliance Billiards is just down the street from campus.  

What Clubs are at Georgian College?

Clubs can be an excellent way to embrace your passions and meet like minded individuals. Browse the list of clubs and enroll in one that interests you. Can’t find a club that suits your interest? Start it yourself!

Georgian Green Events

Those who live in Georgian Green Student Residence have even more opportunities for fun! The residence hosts numerous events throughout the year, including everything from game nights to water balloon fights. Watch for posters or follow Georgian Green on Instagram.
