Family Weekend
September 25th & 26th, 2026
Registration is now open for this year’s Family Weekend!
La Lumiere’s Family Weekend is a lively, heartwarming celebration that brings our boarding school community together! Families get a front-row seat to student life—cheering at athletic competitions, enjoying student performances, and connecting with other Lakers. The weekend is packed with energy, laughter, and lots of La Lu spirit, from delicious shared meals to one of our most beloved traditions, the Senior Bonfire. It’s a perfect mix of fun, friendship, and family, all set against the beautiful backdrop of campus.
We invite all parents, guardians, and families of our current Lakers to attend this fun-filled weekend. Whether you can attend one or all events taking place here on campus, we look forward to spending time with you and your families.
On Friday and Saturday, dinner will be held at 6:30 p.m. on campus and served by Nelson’s Catering. For current students, the price of this meal is included. For adults it is $25 per person, and for children (12 and under) it is $20 per person.
If you purchase a weekend pass (includes both meals listed below) it is $45 per adult and $35 per child.
Vegetarian meals are available upon request – please indicate any dietary restrictions when you pay for your tickets. You can also email Torie Jaques at tjaques@lalumiere.org if you have any questions related to the meal!
