Weekends

Weekends are a time to have fun, be active, relax, do a favorite activity, try something new, and enjoy friends. At Middlebridge, weekends are all these things. Students choose from a wide variety of weekend programs that include recreational, educational, and cultural activities in Rhode Island and New England.
