Young Alumni Glamping Weekend
September 25-27, 2026
Great Smoky Mountains
Join fellow young alumni of Davidson College for a weekend of renewal in the great outdoors...without the outdoors hassle.
We're partnering with Under Canvas to offer upscale, safari-inspired accommodations that allow you to experience the beauty of our national parks with the comfort of hotel amenities. Get OUTSIDE TOGETHER™ at Under Canvas®.
The Great Smoky Mountains Under Canvas site includes luxurious tents complete with beds, wood-burning stoves and access to either a bathhouse with private rooms or an en suite bathroom, depending on tent type.
Schedule
Whether you're a proud Davidson Outdoors alum or looking for a peaceful weekend of renewal in nature, this weekend is all about choosing your own adventure!
Join us for a Welcome Social Around the Firepit on Friday and an Alumni Community Dinner on Saturday. After that, the weekend is yours – go for hikes, take yoga classes, soak up the fall foliage, explore the campground, or just kick back and catch up with your fellow Wildcats.
