2025–2026 Walden Holiday Parties

Throughout December and January, Walden community members gathered for holiday/new year parties in cities around the country, and online!

Walden holiday parties were held in New York City, San Francisco, and Silver Spring, Maryland. Alumni of the Junior Conservatory Camp (JCC), Walden’s predecessor program, also gathered for a holiday reunion over Zoom.

These events brought together Walden and JCC alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and board members for festive potluck gatherings. Delicious food and drinks were shared, music was played, new friendships and connections were made, and much merriment was had. Many thanks to our wonderful volunteer hosts: Stephen Smith in San Francisco, Peter Colohan and Fenton Blake in Silver Spring, and Matthew Egan and Sookyoung Lee in New York City.

Thank you to all who gathered to celebrate the new year with Walden community!
