FreakDown Back To School

On the weekend of January 19-22, we're getting the keys to a 45,000-square-foot school so that we can create the fun and life-changing experiences you have come to count on at The FreakDown.  

This is a weekend of surreal nostalgia, delightful mischief, slow dancing, pep rallies, and uncontrollable laughter. This is high school the way you want to remember it. 

Unfortunately, this is not a family-friendly event. We will not have any curation for kids' activities and if you decide to bring your children, they will need to be highly monitored throughout the event. If you want to attend and need to bring your kids, please let us know, we don't want this to limit your participation, however, we strongly encourage you to find childcare for the weekend so you can come and play with us! 

The weekend includes:

• Get ready for the first day of back to school with a yearbook photo. A digital yearbook will be sent post-event.
• 2 provided meals a day (breakfast/dinner)  All the classics from the cafeteria but made with the healthy standards you have acquired as an adult. (more info below).
• Immersive programming - Homecoming and Prom dance parties, Book fair, bake sale, science fair,  Media Carts,  and much, much more. We don’t want to spoil all of the surprises
• DJ’s and Live music throughout the weekend - bring those baby-breath corsages and rented tuxedos! 
• Car Camping, tent camping or indoor camping included. We have limited availability for indoor camping. We will be converting 3 classrooms into group sleeping zones. Your 6th-grade self is stoked. Your 30-something self might want to bring earplugs. (Indoor camping is not recommended for those who snore loudly or for those who are incredibly light sleepers)
• Most workshops and classes are included with ticket purchase. There will be 2-4 classes a day to choose from. 
• Additional classes are available for a small fee to cover the costs of materials.
