With the theme “Level Up: Carnival Rebooted,” this year’s winter carnival is making the most of the idea of the virtual world of gaming: From arcade nights and scavenger hunts to multiplayer online video games and virtual conversations, community members can participate wherever they are.
For students on campus this term, there are plenty of outdoor activities to embrace the winter weather, including ice skating on the Green, ice sculpting, snow sculpting, snowshoe races, sledding, and skiing.
This year’s carnival will run for three full weekends, from Feb. 5-21. Check Engage.Dartmouth.edu and the winter carnival website for upcoming events and activities.
