MU Getaway Weekends

MU Getaway Weekends
A Housing and Residential Programs sponsored event

What's a Getaway Weekend?
    It is a weekend for almost 40 new students at a campground in central Pennsylvania. The student led activities will focus on relationships, leadership, managing stress, the college experience, and friends. The Getaway Weekend is a relaxing fun adventure that will help you put your life in perspective. Questions about Getaway Weekends should be directed to Pete Messimer, Associate Director of Housing, (717) 872-3162.

When is it and how much does it cost?
    There will be Getaway Weekends this fall with at least one weekend designed to address the needs of Exploratory Students. The Getaway Weekend will not be scheduled for Homecoming, Family Day, or Fall Break. The cost is $20 with $5 returned to you on the bus.

How do I sign up?
    You can sign up during Orientation at the Getaway Weekend table at the Activities Fair. Registration forms can be obtained at the Housing Office on the first floor of Harbold Hall. New students who want to sign up after the start of the fall semester should look for the Getaway Weekend table at the Organizational Outbreak Fair the first Tuesday evening of the fall semester. It's a great opportunity to recruit a new friend to attend with you. As always, Transfer students and commuters are welcome to participate.
