TRIP TO THE EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY 😱
🚩 Click Here to Sign Up for this Activity
Saturday, October 24 from 1:00pm - Midnight
Spend a few hours in the historic city of Philadelphia (fondly known as Philly) before heading to experience the thrills of Halloween Nights at the Eastern State Penitentiary. This is an immersive experience featuring 5 haunted houses, over 200 performers, and more - all within the walls of a real, abandoned 10-acre prison. A Halloween festival of epic proportions, this trip is not for the faint of heart. Students must have a BUDDY and a working U.S. cell phone number to attend this trip. No student will be allowed to walk around Philly or inside the penitentiary alone. Students may want to bring a small amount of money to purchase snacks or other items while they are in Philly.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
- This trip will open to day students on TUESDAY of this week. Sign up today if you want to secure your spot!
- Since tickets for this trip had to be purchased in advance, students who sign up and then don't show up will be charged for this event.

Saturday, Oct 24 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm
If haunted houses aren't your thing, but you still want some of that Halloween spirit, come to the Res Life Center on Friday night at 9:00pm. We'll have a few fall snacks, dim lighting, and a not-too-scary Halloween movie on the big screen TV. Throw on your pajamas and join us!
