In addition to dorm activities or events sponsored by the city of Boston for the public, Boston Ballet plans larger optional weekend outings for all students. The tickets are pre-purchased through the Boston Ballet. Members of the residential staff attend the activities as chaperones and all transportation is provided. Activities are optional and are filled on a first come first served basis, so space is limited. Fees for Weekend Activities range from $35 to $80 per ticket. Students have the opportunity to go on any or all of the exciting weekend activities Boston Ballet has planned. Last year's activities included:

• A trip to Six Flags Great Adventure, New England's biggest and wildest amusement park
• A hilarious performance by comedy hypnotist Alan Sands
• Performances by Alonzo King's Lines Ballet and Lar Lubovitch Dance Company at the Jacobs Pillow Dance Festival in the Berkshires

• The exciting and always original Blue Man Group performance in Boston's theater district
• A fun and informative tour of Boston in an authentic World War II amphibious vehicle, called the "Boston Duck Tour"
• A day of fun in the sun at Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA
• A Dinner Cruise at the end of the program allowing students time to spend with new friends they will make in the program
