News & Events

We have prepared an amazing on-campus summer session full of fun, healthy connections, and learning. This is set to run from July 6 to August 13. We have planned activities on our campus (academics and credit recovery, art, crafts, cooking and baking, gardening, bee keeping, hikes, swimming, boating and more) and throughout Vermont and New England (camping, fishing, an amusement park, festivals). While our strong preference is to have Summer Session our beautiful campus, we are not able to make that decision alone. We will be looking to the CDC and the Governor of Vermont, as well as to best practices, to determine whether our on-campus summer program will happen. We will need to hear that it is safe and prudent to bring students, coming from many states across our country, onto campus. We hope to have more clarity by the end of May or early June.

**** AT THIS TIME, THE REUNION IS CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19. CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES ABOUT A DIGITAL REUNION*** We are excited to share more details about the Rock Point School 2020 reunion on June 12-14th! We are looking forward to a weekend filled with sharing memories, enjoying the beauty of campus, and catching up with old friends. As always, any former students, staff, and families are invited!

Wiffle Fest 2019 was our 22nd annual gathering and it was a big success. Thirty-two teams of 2-3 players each, ranging in ages and skill levels spent the day playing on a comfortably sunny and breezy Saturday at the end of June. The teams competed in the “World Series” with Quinn Wardwell and Alex Leamon winning the Majors Division and Isaac and Michael Wood-Lewis winning the Minors Division. Although these teams had each played before, both were first time Champions at Wiffle Fest. The play was competitive and also filled with good sportsmanship and lively banter.

Rock Point School traveled to Fenway Park last night to take in a Red Sox game! C.J., our Head of School, met up with alumni, former staff, and trustees to see the Sox victory over the Blue Jays. The game ended with a 10-8 score, with lots of hits to keep the crowd happy, including an exciting grand slam! It was a beautiful night to catch up with old friends.

Mark your calendars for June 13, 2020 for the Rock Point School Reunion! All former staff, students, and families are invited to join us as we celebrate, connect, and share stories. The building will be open from June 12-14th, with the main events (BBQ and games) on June 13th from 12 - 5 p.m.

Summer is the perfect time to pick up a book and explore some big ideas, escape to a foreign land, or dive into history. We have some reading recommendations for everyone, no matter what your interests!

C.J., our Head of School, headed to Boston on Thursday for a Red Sox game and met up with some alumni, former staff, trustees and friends for the game. The Red Sox were victorious over the Blue Jays in a 6-4 game, which made C.J., a longtime Red Sox fan, pretty happy!

First week of Summer Session 2018 For our first week of Summer Session we took a five day trip to Maine, visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! We stayed at the College of the Atlantic was a great opportunity to check out the campus and get a taste of college life.

Summer Session has gone by in a blur of road trips, night swimming, and ice cream cones. Students are packing up and preparing to head home for a few weeks before the school year begins. For our last week of summer session, students experimented with the 3-D printer, becoming more familiar with the technology as well as practicing some math skills. We also visited the Lake Champlain Maritime museum and had the opportunity to row across the lake to New York in some antique boats.

We've finished Week 2 of Summer Session and it was a full one! Students learned a new skill (for some) with a sewing elective in the morning. In the garden, we harvested radishes and lettuce; planted kale, chard, and lettuce; and weeded everything.
