reunions and summer session
|
Reunions at The Mountain School occur annually in mid-June (for 5, 10, and 15 years) and early August (20 and 25 years).
In 2018 the Mountain School will also offer a new weekend called Mountain School Summer Session, to take place in late July and which is open to all alumni. Scroll down for details. There is also a 1-year Sugaring Reunion each March for alumni who are one year out from graduating. As your semester's reunion date approaches, you will receive an email invitation to register online. If your reunion is coming up but you haven't received any information or an invitation, please contact the Director of Alumni Relations. |

MOUNTAIN SCHOOL SUMMER SESSION

In an effort to expand learning and connection opportunities for all alumni, the Mountain School will offer a new Summer Session this July. We invite graduates and their families to spend a weekend on campus attending workshops, demonstrations, and discussions and enjoying outdoor experiences together.
Camping and off-campus accommodations are still available, and childcare is available on campus. Rally your Mountain School friends to join you in Vershire this July! Summer Session is a joint effort between the Alumni Committee and the Mountain School, and we're all looking forward to it! Here's why you should, too: When I returned to TMS with my wife and kids for my 20th reunion two summers ago, I was expecting some nostalgia and good food, but what I found was so much more. Everyone in my semester joked that we needed a Mountain School summer camp for grown ups, and I thought what a wonderful thing that would be. Not only would we have a chance to go back to that very special place, but we could connect with such wonderfully dynamic people. Mountain Schoolers are a fascinating lot, full of energy and ideas. Bringing together a group of these people every summer has such amazing potential. I'm so very excited to see what we make of it. I went to the Mountain School for the first time several years ago and it was great to learn about a pivotal point in my wife's life. I look forward to going back and spending time with such an earnest and vibrant group of people. I'm looking forward to Summer Session because I can't wait to connect with other alumni. I also am excited to reignite some of that Mountain School passion, but this time in new and different ways. |
