In addition to activities focused at the dorm or 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 residence staff attend the activities as chaperones and if required, transportation is arranged. Weekend outings vary in artistic and cultural context. Activities are optional, and on a first come-first served basis, so apce is limited. Fees for the Weekend Activities range from $45 to $80 per ticket. Students have the opportunity to go on any or all of the eight exciting weekend activities. Activities include:

• A day trip to Provincetown on Cape Cod to experience a culturally diverse town and visit one of the National Seashore's beaches

• An uproarious performance of the whodunit comedy, Shear Madness, in Boston's theater distict.

• Performances by Nederlands Dans Theater, and Dancers of the Royal Danish Ballet at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in the Berkshires

• The exciting and always original Blue Man Group performance in the theatre district of Boston

• A fun and informative tour of Boston in an authentic World War II amphibian vehicle, called the "Boston Duck Tour"

• A thrill-filled trip to Six Flags New England, where students have the opportunity to ride two newly unveiled rollercoasters

• A Dinner Cruise at the end of the program allowing students time to spend with new friends they will make in the program
