Chewonki Homecoming Weekend 2026

August 21–23, 2026

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.

  • Swimming and canoeing on Montsweag Bay 
  • A casual bird walk with a Chewonki naturalist
