Details

You’re invited to the YSE Faculty and Staff Retreat and Day of Service on Thursday, July 10! Please register for each opportunity separately using the "Register" buttons below. 


The retreat will be held from 12:00 PM–5:00 PM at the Yale Outdoor Education Center (297 Upper Pattagansett Road, East Lyme, CT). This casual, family-friendly event is a great chance to step away from the workweek and enjoy an afternoon of water activities, games, relaxing by the lake, lunch, and time with colleagues and loved ones. Families are welcome and encouraged to join!

Optional Morning Service Project: Open to All
After a hiatus, the service and education portion of our annual retreat has returned! Help us give back to the community. Join us from 9:00–10:30 AM for a community cleanup along the Farmington Canal Trail, near the vibrant murals. We will be doing a trash pickup in partnership with the New Haven Parks Department. This service opportunity is open to everyone, whether or not you’re attending the retreat later in the day. 

We hope you’ll join us in giving back and reconnecting with nature, community, and each other.

Please register for both opportunities by July 1.
