Weekend Information

We are so excited to be hosting Campbell Family Weekend 2026! Please join us in person, on campus for a weekend with your Campbell student to celebrate our school’s academic, extracurricular and athletic achievements. This is a time for families to immerse themselves in the Campbell experience that their student enjoys all year — to walk the grounds, go to the games, see the academic and fine arts achievements and to show school spirit. Bring the kids and bring the grandparents. We have something for everyone. Students are encouraged to attend events with their family. We want families to come together and meet faculty and staff as well as make new friends with other Campbell proud families.
