Common ground.

Florida boatingCentral Florida is a beautiful place with plenty to offer.  Beacon College students are welcome — and encouraged — to take advantage of recreational, shopping, dining, cultural, entertainment and religious activities.  The options are virtually endless.  Visit one of Lake County’s 1,400 lakes for kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, boating or fishing.  Use one of Leesburg’s many parks for tennis, swimming, biking, walking or picnicking.  Attend an arts festival in nearby Fruitland Park, Lady Lake, The Villages, Clermont, Tavares or Mount Dora.  Find fresh food or crafts objects at Leesburg’s Saturday Morning Market.  Connect with one of the area’s many faith communities.

There are few safe, small town environments like this one.
