Chewonki Homecoming Weekend 2026
August 21–23, 2026
July 22 Update: Overnight Registration Update
We’ve made a few changes to our overnight lodging options to make them more flexible and affordable for families and groups. All overnight guests still need to register for Homecoming, but lodging is now reserved separately, with new options for private cabins and group camping. If you’ve already registered for overnight accommodations, we’ll reach out directly if these changes affect your reservation.
Join us on Chewonki Neck for a relaxed Homecoming weekend shaped by the simple rhythms of campus life. Whether you were a camper, semester student, staff member, parent, or friend, Chewonki Homecoming is a chance to return to a place that holds many shared memories and introduce the people you love to it as well.
Come for a day, stay overnight in a cabin, or bring your own tent and camp under the stars. Share meals in the Wallace Dining Hall, and reconnect with friends old and new.
