Family Weekend

Join Us for Family Weekend 2026!

We invite you to Step Into the Story at CMC! Please save the date for Family Weekend 2026, taking place Saturday, February 14 – Monday, February 16. Events will kick off the morning of Saturday, February 14.

Experience CMC through your student’s eyes with a weekend full of opportunities to connect, learn, and celebrate together. Enjoy interactive classes, panel discussions, faculty lectures, athletic events, and student performances, all designed to give you a deeper look at life on campus.

We encourage you to talk with your student ahead of time to plan your weekend together, many students will be balancing full schedules (and even a few midterm preparations).

Each year’s Family Weekend offers something new, and 2026 promises to be no exception. Whether you’re returning to campus or joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to welcome you to Claremont to experience our dynamic community, connect with faculty and staff, and see firsthand how CMC prepares students to lead with purpose.

We look forward to seeing you for an unforgettable weekend with your student and the CMC community.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should my family participate? 

Families play a vital role in the CMC community, and Family Weekend is your chance to experience campus life through your student’s eyes. Enjoy time together, meet fellow CMC families, and get a closer look at what makes CMC such a special place.

Are family members and guests welcome at all events? 

Absolutely! Siblings, grandparents, and other guests are welcome to join in the weekend’s activities. Please be sure to include all guest names in your registration so we can provide nametags for everyone—these are required for event access. Note that many programs are designed for participants ages 16 and older. 

Will my student be able to participate? 

Students are encouraged to take part in as many events as their schedules allow! Some activities require advance registration or a small fee, so be sure to coordinate with your student. Even if their weekend is busy, there will be plenty for families to enjoy on their own and with other CMC families.
