Family Weekend
Family Weekend is a unique opportunity for your family to get a first-hand look at your student’s college experience. Of course, it’s also a chance to get away for a weekend on a Christ-centered campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Just like last year, we are combining Parent and Grandparent Weekends into one fun event, so your entire family can share the occasion. You will have the chance to attend class with your student, experience chapel, Lomapalooza, and so much more.

Family Weekend Schedule:
*You will notice that much of the schedule is optional. We have planned everything to be optional so that you can spend time as a family as you desire but also offer you plenty of activities to do throughout the day. We encourage you to attend the optional events, as they all will help you experience life at PLNU.
