“It was through athletic bible study that I was able to open up about and truly learn about God and the plans that he has for me.”

Student Activities
Life at Concordia is filled with moments you’ll never forget — from Fall Festival and Kindergarten Day to year-long traditions like the Hunt. Student Activities brings the fun all year long, giving you countless ways to connect, celebrate, and belong.
The Hunt
The Hunt is our year-long competition where students earn points for their residential team by joining spirit days, big campus events, and athletic games. It all builds up to the end-of-year Hunter Games, where the winning team claims the Golden Eagle Trophy.
Beach Bash
Beach Bash is an annual tradition to kick off the year. All undergraduate students are invited to Corona Del Mar beach to have some good food, play games and compete for Hunt points, and end the night with a bonfire, s’mores, and worship!
Basket Bingo
Basket Bingo is an event for students to win baskets of free items! Our student activities team puts together different themed baskets for students to win based on their bingo cards. It is many of our students’ favorite event!
Outdoor Recreation
Adventure is just around the corner. Hike coastal trails, camp under desert stars, or join a service trip to the mountains. With trips to places like Sedona, Mammoth, and Joshua Tree, outdoor recreation at Concordia helps you explore Southern California and beyond. Plus, you can rent the gear you need for free!
