Weekends Around Campus
There are always a variety of activities on campus every weekend - shopping trips to nearby malls, outings to quaint nearby towns like Millerton, NY, special movie showings, all-school dances, food fests, rollerskating excursions, hiking trips, and much, much more.
We also encourage students to participate in activities that reinforce their Millbrook academic, arts, and athletic programs. Among these might be community service opportunities, outdoor adventures, scientific study at nearby colleges and research facilities, visual and performing arts programs, and sports-related programs.
Spirits are especially high during several special weekends throughout the year. Fall Fest and Spring Carnival are packed with games and musical entertainment, and Winter Weekend brings the campus alive with dorm colors, cheers, and intense competitive spirit!

The weekend gets crazy with competition and the campus gets colorful with dorm pride décor and colors.

It's an all-in, give-it-all-you-got, fierce competition that ultimately brings the entire school together in one of the best weekends of the year.
Fall Fest & Spring Carnival
Other premiere events that are big weekends on campus include Fall Fest and Spring Carnival. Students fill the entire quad encircled by games, inflatables, food, and fun activities.
