​MOUNTAIN SCHOOL SUMMER SESSION
Friday, July 27-Sunday, July 29, 2018
In an effort to expand learning and connection opportunities for all alumni, the Mountain School is offering 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. Childcare and activities for kids will be available.
​
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.
- David, alumni spouse
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.
