2025 Alumni Retreat
Alpine Valley School
November 21-23rd 2025
Winter Park, Colorado
Come Home to Your Community
Join us for a memorable Alumni Retreat from November 21st - 23rd, 2025, hosted by Marc, Katy, Carlos, Aubrey, Andreas, and Gina. This exclusive event invites all former AVS students aged 18+ who attended the school for a year or more (whether you graduated or not), along with their partners, and children. It's a unique opportunity to reconnect, reminisce, and create new memories in a welcoming and relaxed environment. The retreat offers the chance to reunite with old friends, meet new graduates, and support them as they transition into our vibrant alumni community.
This weekend is designed to be a true "coming home" experience, where you can share stories, laughter, and experiences with those who understand the unique journey of an Alpine Valley education. Whether you're looking to relax, engage in enriching conversations, or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals, this retreat is the perfect place to be. Set against a serene backdrop, this event promises a blend of nostalgic moments and exciting activities, providing a perfect escape to recharge and reconnect with the Alpine Valley community. This is your chance to step back into a space where you are understood, valued, and celebrated.
More details coming soon.
Coming Up For The Day
We have a special invitation for everyone who's been a part of our journey, whether as official alumni or cherished former students. If you can't join us for the entire weekend, no worries at all! We'd love for you to come up just for the day. Imagine a day filled with laughter, shared memories, and reconnecting with friends. Join us for a heartwarming communal meal, catch up on old times, and revel in the unique spirit of AVS that continues to thrive in each of us. Even if it's just for a few hours, your presence would mean the world to us and add so much to the day. Let's make new memories together!
Contact Marc for details.
Guidelines & Expectations
We're so excited to have everyone back for our annual retreat. To make sure everyone has a blast, we've put together a few friendly reminders:
1. Keep it Legal, Folks!
We know you know this, but just as a reminder: let's stick to the law, okay? That means no underage drinking or anything else that might get us in hot water. We want to make good memories, not court appearances!
2. Quiet Time
From 10 PM to 10 AM, we're keeping things chill. Some of us might be early birds, others night owls, so let's be cool and keep the volume down during these hours.
3. Respect is the Name of the Game
Remember all those lessons about respect from your AVS days? Time to put 'em into practice! Let's treat everyone here like the awesome human beings they are, or at least agree to disagree.
4. Pitch in with Clean-up
We're all in this together, so let's keep our space tidy! There's a sign-up sheet for clean-up duties - pick a slot that works for you. Morning person? Grab a morning shift. Night owl? Evening clean-up might be your jam.
5. Drink Responsibly (and from Your Own Stash)
If you're partaking in adult beverages, keep 'em in the designated areas. And remember - that craft beer with a funny name might not be yours. Label your drinks and stick to your own, unless you know they are for sharing.
6. Love Our Shared Spaces
Common areas are for everyone, so let's treat them with TLC. Clean up after yourself, be mindful of others, and treat the space like you would a friend's home. Because, well, that's kind of what it is!
7. Have a Blast!
Most importantly - have fun! This is your time to reconnect, relax, and make new memories. Chat with old friends, make new ones, and enjoy just being here. You deserve it!
