SKYLAKE Adventures, Indiana\u2019s first and only large-scale adventure park of its kind, has announced a partnership with Butler University Institute for Sports and Entertainment, reflecting a shared commitment to strengthening local communities and driving economic development in central Indiana. Opening this summer in Hamilton County, SKYLAKE will be a year-round destination offering a personalized, outdoor-adventure experience where guests can choose their own thrill level across water obstacle courses, ropes courses, and other land attractions, or relax along a six-acre, white-sand lake. <\/p>\n
\u201cButler helped set the foundation for everything we\u2019ve built, so teaming up with the BISE program feels full circle,\u201d said Sean \u2018Mouse\u2019 Howard, co-owner of SKYLAKE and a proud Butler University alumnus. \u201cThis partnership puts Butler students where they belong\u2014inside real sports and entertainment experiences, doing real work that builds real careers. We can\u2019t wait to collaborate with the next generation of Bulldogs and give them a front-row seat to the industry.\u201d <\/p>\n
BISE is an interdisciplinary initiative to connect Butler University students to sports and entertainment opportunities in Indiana. The SKYLAKE team will pour into BISE students with mentorship and real-life experiences in the entertainment industry. In turn, the Butler students will learn practical skills in marketing, social media, and communications while contributing to SKYLAKE\u2019s growing brand presence. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with SKYLAKE as they build an exciting new destination for our community,\u201d said Stephanie Hinshaw, MBA, ED.D, Associate VP of Transformation. \u201cThrough BISE, Butler students gain real-world experience in sports and entertainment while contributing their skills and creativity to a growing Indiana-based business. It\u2019s exactly the kind of collaboration that benefits students, partners, and our broader community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since launching in June 2025, BISE student projects included the WNBA All-Star Weekend, LIV Golf Tournament in Westfield, TED Sports event, World Aquatics Championships in Carmel, Percussive Arts Society International Convention, B1G Ten Football Championship, and hospitality at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with Westfield-based InMobi. Spring projects will include working with the Indiana Sports Corp at the B1G Ten Women\u2019s Tournament and then more than 100 students assisting with the Div. I, II and III NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball Championship weekend and the Final Four.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been unbelievable to be a part of the rapid progression of BISE in year one,\u201d said Butler Senior Trevor Fox, president of the BISE Student Alliance. \u201cThis partnership with SKYLAKE is a great staple in BISE\u2019s youthful history. I\u2019m excited to be on the SKYLAKE team myself, and I can\u2019t wait for fellow students to assist with their fast-moving efforts and showcase what Butler students are made of.\u201d<\/p>\n
SKYLAKE will feature multiple water adventure courses, high-energy slides, a sand-bottom lake, and much more\u2014a shared adventure destination designed for families, young adults, and groups.
