Camping Adventure
This event runs from June 19 to 22 and is organized by a religious community. But don’t worry—you don’t have to share the same faith to join. Everyone’s welcome to take part in their activities!
We know summer schedules can get packed, but if you’ve ever wanted to try camping, this could be a great opportunity. There are plenty of spots available at the site, but transportation might be a bit tricky. Interested? Find out more in the sign-up form or check out their website!
Hershey Park
🎢 Amusement Park! Water Park! A Zoo! All included with one ticket. This trip is your graduation celebration at Hersheypark—yup, the one by the chocolate maker 🍫
🎟️ Spots are limited, so sign up before they run out! For more info, check out the sign-up form. Questions? Feel free to reach out!
Waterside Zen
We’re heading to Cunningham Falls Park, where a lake and waterfalls sit close together for double the chill. You can either relax by the lake all day with your own picnic, or take a short hike to chase the waterfalls and unwind lakeside afterward. I'll have some hot dogs ready—just in case you hike harder than expected and need some bonus fuel 😄 Sign up here and check out a few more details!
Annapolis - Maryland State Capital Tour
Some of you might already know that Annapolis is the capital of Maryland—and some of you may have even visited. We’re planning a trip to explore the city in small groups, with each group going on different days, depending on interest. Feel free to sign up for the date you’d like to join. Deadline: May 18.
Graduation Ceremony - University wide
It’s graduation season! If you're interested in seeing what the graduation ceremony looks like at Hopkins (on Homewood Field), make sure to save the dates. We hope you'll be back next year to attend your own!
Note: Rain dates for both events: the next day, same time, same location.

Patapsco Valley State Park
It’ll be an easy trail—we’ll spend about 1–2 hours there before heading back. Sign up here and take a look at the list of things to bring (don’t worry, it’s all easy stuff).
Movie Night
Hooray! The school year is almost over, and summer break is just around the corner. Some of you may be off for your break as early as Friday (May 9), so we’ve planned a movie night for Thursday, and we hope you’ll join us for a fun time! You're also welcome to invite friends who aren't part of housing—just shoot Lynn a quick message to let her know.
The plan is to show a Disney movie, but if you have any other suggestions, feel free to share them in the form, and I’ll do my best to accommodate everyone’s preferences. We’ll have snacks and drinks, but if you’d like, feel free to bring anything else you'd like to enjoy!
While signing up isn’t mandatory, it would be really helpful for planning the snacks, so we can make sure there’s enough for everyone. If you can, please let us know by filling out the form.
We’re not just sticking to the movie. We’ll also have karaoke, board games, and Mahjong available. It’s all up to you! 👉 [Sign up form here]
