Weekends at Hebron are some of the busiest times at Hebron. The Community Life Team, in conjuction with residential faculty, plans activities for students throughout the year, including special events, sports tournaments, activities in the dorm, and more. Community Life consistently enlists the help of students in compiling fresh and engaging options, including weekend trips, concerts, professional sporting contests and more. These activities compliment the wide array of existing student plays and concerts, student organization activities and interscholastic competitions.

  • Outing Club - Since the 1930s, Hebronians have been exploring the great outdoors throughout our 1,500 acres of Maine wilderness. 
  • Casino Night - A signature event of the Winter Carnival, students and faculty alike dress their best and ante up at Casino Night, followed by a formal dance.
  • Movies - Theaters in nearby Auburn.
  • Off-campus Cultural Opportunities - Students have access to area culture -  the Portland Symphony, Portland Stage Company, or Bates College lectures and concerts, and much more.
  • Trips to Fairs - It's important to change up the scenery while still enjoy a good time, and local fairs and carnivals offer a terrific balance - bring on the Ferris Wheel and fried dough!
  • Spa Night (girls' dorm) - Girls will be girls. Hebron's female brigade taps into its feminine side with mani-pedis and facials on Spa Night in Halford Hall - cucumber slices and pink Snuggies are encouraged.
  • Poker & video game competitions - A dorm favorite, these tend to get pretty heated amongst the competitors, which include faculty, staff, and students alike.
  • Slip-n-slide in the Bowl - Hebron's Bowl has served as a helicopter landing pad, playing fields, and come the warm weather it makes for a perfectly slippery slope to slide on.
  • Snow tubing in the winter - A snow tubing resort is just 20 minutes from the Hebron campus and offers endless wintry fun; if you can't beat the snow, you might as well join it!
  • Cookouts - There's nothing better than an old-fashioned BBQ, which also doubles as a terrific opportunity for students and faculty to kick back together outside the classroom.
  • Dances - Held regularly throughout the year and always memorable.
  • Prom - Students gear up in their finest attire for this annual spring favorite.
  • Spelling bees - A perfect pairing of academia and genuine comedy, spelling bees are always a hit...and a great way for students to earn extra credit!
