What is there to do on weekends?

Because NMH is primarily a boarding school, the majority of students are on campus during most weekends. Multiple activities [4.6] are planned to appeal to a variety of interests including the ever-popular dances, current movies, special performances including hypnotists, musical groups, and other entertainers, crafts, fairs, and more.

Student Houses or school organizations will also host themed events such as Halloween Haunted House, Mardi Gras, Casino Night, Disco Night, International Carnival, and other special dances, performances, or activities. Some houses host activities with other houses after house closings.

Most Friday nights at NMH you will find the entire school gathered and cheering on their housemates during intramurals. Intramurals start at 10:30pm. Intramurals entail the boys and girls houses competing against themselves for points. Events include dodge ball, basketball, broom hockey, indoor soccer, and swimming just to name a few. At the end of each year there is a girls and boys champion crowned. Intramurals are a fun and competitive way for NMH students to start off their weekend.

On Saturdays there are usually sporting events, and a regional shuttle bus goes to Greenfield, a nearby town, every Saturday afternoon, returning in the evening. Additionally, the school will provide access to shopping, museums, or musical performances in Boston, Northampton, and other destinations.

For those seeking religious services, Shabbat services are held on Friday nights, church services are held in one of the chapels every Sunday morning, and transportation is available to other religious services, as well.
