About Our Weekend Celebration
To the teachers, learners, creators and builders of the past 50 years, we want to honor you and the immeasurable contributions you have made to our community over the years. For those of us who are here now, teaching and learning together, it is time to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of the past couple years when our community came together in a time of great uncertainty and created something magical and unforgettable. We know it was only possible because we were building on the bedrock of love, courage and agency laid by those who did the work before us. Together, we can envision and support the next 50 years of our beloved school.
We are so excited to host the Upland Hills community—past and present—for a fun filled weekend of music, dancing, campfire storytelling, play and good food. You will see in the details below a packed lineup of activities and events. Please consider joining for one, some or all of the celebrations!
Throughout the weekend, we will also be highlighting the upcoming campaigns that are important to the present and future success of the next 50 years of Upland Hills School. We invite everyone to help us envision, create and financially support the continued growth and development of our children and school community.
Camping
We have large canvas wall tents (think glamping!) now that sit on wooden decks. The tents can easily accommodate a family or small group of friends for the weekend. Outside each tent is a 12’x14’ deck space with a picnic table.
We have 6 tents available for weekend rental. They are each situated around campus, near the school building. Access to bathrooms in the school is available.
Tent camping is also available around campus—you pick the spot!—for those looking to rough it a bit more. Bathrooms available in the school.
There are multiple fire rings and wood available for anyone camping over the weekend.
