It is our pleasure to invite you to pack your bags and join us for a fun-filled weekend! We have established this special weekend for you—our boarding students’ parents—so that you may gain a better understanding of “dorm life” and the sense of community that you child is experiencing here at Bolles.  

Events will include:
  • Meetings with faculty members, administrators, coaches,
    dining service, advisors, and others.
  • Meet your Resident Ambassador Program (R.A.P.),
    formerly LinkUp family, and get to know them.
  • Dinner with other students so that you may meet and get
    to know your child’s friends.
