The full schedule is available on this web page.
No, all alumni, their guests, and friends of the school are welcome to attend for a day or for the whole weekend. Preference for dorm accommodations will be given to alumni in the classes ending in 2 or 7, or in 1970 or 1971.
Dorm accommodations are $100 for a bed in a shared room for three nights or $200 for a private room for three nights. A la carte meal options range from $10 to $65 per person per meal (including alcoholic/nonalcoholic beverages), and children younger than 18 eat for free. There are special discounts for the 5th, 25th, 50th, and Loyalty Club classes. Early-bird rates are available before April 1; check out this web page to learn more!
Stop by check-in in the Simon Student Center (below Ford Hall). You’ll receive an updated schedule for the weekend, your dorm room assignment/room key (if applicable), and other materials.
Please plan to arrive by 7 p.m. on Thursday, by 8 p.m. on Friday, or by 6 p.m. on Saturday. If you arrive after the registration table has closed, contact Campus Safety at 717-328-1111 to gain access to your dorm room. You will still need to check in at registration the following morning after your arrival.
We anticipate hundreds of guests on campus throughout the weekend, and in order to plan accordingly, we asked that all registrants register online by Friday, May 20. If you have questions about this, please contact events@mercersburg.edu or 717-328-6100.
Refunds will be issued through May 16. If you cancel after that, you will have the option to credit the registration fee as a reunion gift to the 2021-2022 Annual Fund.
If you don’t have a guest or didn’t pay the fee for single occupancy, you will be assigned a roommate. Every effort will be made to house you with one of your classmates. (If you’re traveling solo, we will bunk you with someone. Be sure to share your roommate preferences or upgrade to get a private room.) Remember: if you’re a “walk-in,” we will be unable to accommodate dorm lodging.
Each room will have basic amenities: a twin bed (or two if it’s a double room), sheets, a blanket, a small pillow, a towel, and a washcloth. Toiletries and hangers are not provided. There are no phones or fans in the rooms. All bathrooms are communal. Sleeping bags, air mattresses, and pillows are allowed for young children, and children not using a bed will not be charged the dorm fee when they stay with a paying adult. Remember: this is dorm living! If you have room in your car or suitcase, we would recommend bringing an extra blanket or pillows to add some comfort. The rooms have central air; as you aren’t able to control the temperature in your room, we recommend that you bring extra bedding or some layers for sleeping. PLEASE NOTE: no housekeeping services are provided in dorm rooms throughout the weekend.
At least one dorm will be designated for families with young children, providing the option of a quieter stay. Please indicate that you would like the family-friendly dorm option when you register. Expectations for staying in this dorm include no alcohol consumption within the dorm and quiet hours after 9 p.m. If you are someone who prefers to abstain from alcohol and want to stay on campus, please select the family-friendly dorm lodging option.
Yes. RV parking is available in the lot next to the Hale Field House, though there are no water or electricity hook-ups. Questions about RV parking can be directed to Campus Safety at 717-328-1111. You may also consider bringing a tent and camping out!
No one may operate an unmanned aircraft system at Mercersburg Academy. Visit this web page to read the full policy.
Not at all. Each meal will include gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. If you have other dietary restrictions, please provide them when you register online—or email reunions@mercersburg.edu.
Absolutely! Many of the weekend’s events are family-friendly, and Mercersburg Summer Programs sponsors a Legacy Campout on Saturday night. Your child or grandchild (age 8-12) can have an overnight experience on back campus that will give them a taste of Mercersburg Adventure Camp. The capacity for this event is limited and has a minimum of 12 participants. Please note that Thursday and Saturday dinners are 21+ events and not appropriate for children.
We welcome families to bring their children; however, there are no childcare services so, please plan accordingly.
The pool, basketball courts, squash center, fitness center, and tennis center will be available for use. Be sure to pick up a schedule with facility hours of operation when you visit check-in in the Simon Student Center or find the hours posted on this web page.
Mercersburg Academy is a tobacco-free, marijuana-free, and drug-free campus. Smoking and e-cigarette use are not permitted anywhere on campus. Practice reasonable alcohol consumption at all times. Alcohol consumption is not permitted in the hallways of dormitories, and no glass containers are permitted on campus. At events hosted by the school where alcohol is served, licensed bartenders are required by law to limit consumption and will do so should you appear to be inebriated. Should you choose to bring alcohol to campus, you are fully responsible for outcomes related to any and all cases of overconsumption of said alcohol.
In the case of inclement weather, alternative locations for outdoor events will be posted on this web page.
Feel free to park behind Traylor Hall, next to the Burgin Center for the Arts, along Sycamore Lane, in the spaces next to the Irvine Memorial Chapel, in the Hale Field House parking lot, or in any other spaces on campus not marked as reserved or handicapped. Handicapped parking will be available in designated spaces around the quad. (Please observe the signs that restrict parking in the grass in certain areas.) If you haven’t been back to campus in a while, please note that the traffic flow around the quad is one-way.
Most of the campus has wireless Internet. The wireless network is called “Mercersburg,” and you’ll be prompted to register your device and review the terms of service before you log on. Please pick up information at check-in in the Simon Student Center about how to access the network.
Plan to dress comfortably throughout the weekend, and don’t forget athletic attire if you plan to swim, play tennis or squash, or participate in the morning workouts. Alumni and their guests typically dress in business casual or semi-formal attire for the Alumni Council kickoff dinner on Thursday and their class dinner on Saturday.
You should pack sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, lawn chair(s) for class tents, an umbrella, Pack ’n Play or air mattress (if bringing infants or toddlers), decorations for your class tent, and athletic equipment (if you plan to bike). Remember that dorm rooms are not like hotel rooms: basic linens will be provided (pillow, sheets, blanket, towel, and washcloth), but please bring your own toiletries and personal items. Extra linens are not available. See the question, “What can I expect if I’m staying in a dorm?” for more information.
Pets are permissible on campus for Reunion Weekend if you are coming for the day or have off-campus lodging. Pets are not allowed in classrooms, office areas, dorms, or other school buildings. If you’re bringing your pet to campus, it should be licensed and have a current immunization record. Damage done by pets to school property will be the financial responsibility of the pet’s owner. Please remember, you must clean up after your dog. In addition, all pets on campus must be on a leash with their owner at all times. Pets should not be left unattended.
I probably won’t be able to make it to Reunion Weekend. Are there ways I can follow along from home?
We’ll miss you! Various aspects of the weekend will be covered on the @mburgalumni social media channels (Facebook and Instagram, plus @mercersburgacademy on Facebook and @mercersburg on Instagram and Twitter) and with the hashtag #MburgReunion.
Share your memories! #MburgReunion #MburgAlumni
