What to do During Family Weekend
Once a year, Covenant College invites families of current students to campus for a weekend of fellowship and fun. The weekend has a full itinerary with many opportunities for families to catch a glimpse of life on the mountain. There is much to explore on and off campus during Family Weekend–here are a few suggestions!
On Campus
- Attend classes and experience the rich academics at Covenant
- Cheer on the Scots at a tennis match, baseball, or softball game
- Worship alongside your student at chapel
- Fellowship with other parents at our Parents Mingle and hear from President Voyles at Breakfast with the President
- Share a meal with your student at the Great Hall or the Blink
- Enjoy a theatre performance in the evening
- Take a tour of campus, Carter Tower, and our residence halls
Off Campus
- Visit a local church on Sunday morning
- Enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, including (but not limited to!) Mr. T’s Pizza, Niedlov’s Cafe & Bakery, or Massey’s Kitchen
- Get a cup of coffee at Canopy, Goodman’s Coffee, Mean Mug, or another local Chattanooga coffeeshop
- Take in the scenery on a nearby hiking trail or watch the sunset at Sunset Rock or the hang gliding spot
- See the Chattanooga Aquarium, the Hunter Museum of American Art, Rock City, Ruby Falls, or other nearby attractions
- Go downtown and visit local shops, Coolidge Park, the Chattanooga Choo Choo, and more
Whatever you decide to do during your visit, we hope that it is a joyful chance to experience life alongside your student for the weekend!
