What’s spookier than a Halloweekend hangover? Eating lots and lots of apples.

Join Nathan, Diego, and Erin for an epic fall apple-picking adventure to Oak Glen! We will depart from the village at 9am and drive ~2 hours to Oak Glen in the San Bernadino Mountains. We’ll spend a couple of hours picking apples and frolicking amidst the rows of apple trees. After exploring the farm and orchard, we will picnic, eat a super delicious lunch, and recover from our hangovers by eating lots and lots of apples. Please note, we will cover the cost of 1 pound of apples. If you are an absolute apple fiend and anticipate picking more than that, you will have to pay for however many apples you chose to pick — about $3-6 per pound. We will be back on campus by 5:30pm, giving you plenty of time to get ready for another Halloweekend night out!
