Wildcat Weekend
Wildcat Weekend, celebrated annually in October, is an
extraordinary Rye Country Day tradition. This event combines three major events
into one memorable day. For the students, this is their traditional homecoming
weekend, so athletic contests abound for RCDS alumni and families to enjoy.
Wildcat Weekend is also home to our Alumni Reunion celebrations. There is
welcome tent set up on our fields to greet alumni where they can register,
have some refreshments, and take tours of our new campus with current RCDS
students. Perhaps the highlight of Wildcat Weekend is Fall Fair, which is a carnival
event organized by our Upper
School students for the
young children of RCDS and local community. The RCDS athletic center fills up
with rides, games, and activities for younger children to enjoy. Abundant music, food, and face painting make
this a most memorable and festive event.
