Every five years, each Exeter class hosts a reunion on campus. These events culminate a year or more of planning, and include informal and formal gatherings, family activities, music, meals and plenty of time to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. A supervised children's program is available during the May 3-5 reunion weekend.
More information will be available on this page as plans are finalized.
To volunteer for your reunion, please contact us at reunions@exeter.edu.

Children are welcome at reunions, and many reunion activities are family friendly. Some events, however, may not be of interest to the younger set. If you think your child would enjoy meeting with and playing with other children during part of your reunion, you can take advantage of the supervised children's program that is available for registered children ages 2 to 13 during the first reunion weekend (15th-40th reunions). The program includes morning (8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and evening (5-10 p.m.) care, activities, snacks, dinner and Friday evening entertainment. Click here to view the 2018 program.
The charge for the 2019 program is $85.00 per child and includes all meals and activities for the weekend. Sign up for this program when you register for the reunion. A la carte options are available for those children that do not attend the children’s program. Children under 2 years of age are free.
