Experience Your True North at NGU
Family Weekend
Your Family + Our Family = One Incredible Weekend
Join us for a weekend full of fun, connection, and school spirit alongside your Trailblazer student! Participate in special on-campus events designed for families and students. Cheer on our Trailblazers at the NGU football game, which includes a pre-game tailgate party!
Take the opportunity to explore exciting activities in and around NGU. Enjoy the off-campus experiences your child has been raving about, such as hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains, touring the Biltmore Estate, picking apples at a mountaintop orchard, or discovering Greenville’s award-winning downtown—all with your child as your guide!
