Forget all that you once knew about scavenger hunts and prepare for the most packed weekend of your Middlebury experience.

The Hunt is a two-day competition during winter term for students to try their hands at taking risks, pushing their comfort zones, and completing creative, wild tasks compiled by their all-powerful Hunt Masters.

The challenges call on historical, theoretical, mathematical, and practical knowledge; creative thinking; strong organizational skills; boundless energy and enthusiasm; and an appreciation of the absurd.

What would you do with $10,000 and a summer?

Bring damaged jackets, bags, or other outdoor gear to Gifford Lawn for free professional repairs from Maine GearShare. Attendees can observe the repair process, learn which fixes are most effective, and connect with student groups focused on outdoor access and sustainability. This event is open to everyone and encourages reducing waste through reuse and repair.

Drop off gear in need of repair, then connect with student orgs (MMC! EcoReps! FIRE! Weybridge! New Perennials!) about how to get outside! 

Show up from 7p-9p at The Old Stone Mill (82 Weybridge Street) to buy locally-crafted student-made art while enjoying free NA-cocktails and live music and learn about Recovery from local resources.

TEDxMiddlebury is a student-led event that brings TED’s mission of “ideas worth spreading” to the Middlebury Campus. 

New Horizons explores the idea that new beginnings are a universal and necessary part of our lives. At a time when the world tends to equate transitions with instability, New Horizons invites us to see a fresh start not as something to fear, but as something to embrace.

Sleepless in Middlebury is a 72hr filmmaking competition designed as an optional orientation event for first year students. A small team of creative collaborators will make a film from start to finish in only a few short days. This screening is the culminating event and will showcase the films made in the last 72 hours.
