Frequently Asked Questions
Child Care
In recent years, many children have shared the weekend with their families thanks to Hamilton's Reunion Child Care Program. A structured program for infants and children under 12 is housed in the Clinton Early Learning Center in the Root Residence Hall. Child care will be available from 6 p.m. to midnight on Saturday evening. Children will be supervised and entertained by a team of Hamilton and local high school students. Pizza will be served for dinner.
Pre-registration for child care is required by May 15, 2009. Sorry, but walk-ins cannot be accommodated. Pricing for child care is $50 for one child plus $25 for each additional child and can be reserved in the Child Care section of your Reunions registration form.
The Child Care Center is equipped with cribs, cots, mats and blankets so children will have a comfortable place to sleep. We are not able to assign individual babysitters to stay with children in dorm rooms, or to make arrangements for child care at other times during the weekend.
Activities for Older Children
Older children are invited to enjoy the swimming pool, tennis courts and other athletic facilities, the computer center and large-screen video games.
Class Dinners
Class dinners will be held on Saturday evening. Specific times and locations will be available at the Registration Desk when you check in for the weekend.
The class dinners are usually more formal gatherings than other meals during the weekend. Semi-formal attire is recommended. You will be most comfortable dressed in a jacket and tie (optional) for men, and dress slacks or a dress for women.
