Family Weekend
Craftsbury Common is one of the most beautiful villages in all of Vermont, and a popular destination in all seasons. Many family members of Sterling College students visit Craftsbury every year for Family Weekend, and some even continue visiting long after the student has graduated. There is a special magic to this community that is refreshing for visitors, and keeps people coming back year after year.

Our next Family Weekend will be published soon!
Family Weekend is a great opportunity for you to:
- Catch up with your Sterling College student
- Meet faculty and staff
- Learn about the ecology of northern Vermont
- Experience our approach to ecological thinking and action
We love welcoming families to campus! Family Weekend coincides with Open House for prospective students, allowing current family members to mingle with families who are checking out Sterling College for the first time.
Check out the tentative schedule for the weekend here.
All events and meals are free of charge, but you will need to arrange your own accommodations for the weekend.
There’s a lot to explore here in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, but we’re also close enough to Quebec to make a quick jaunt across the border feasible. Be sure to pack your passport if you plan to make a trip into Canada.
