Winterim

Winterim is a hallmark program at Seabury Hall that brings together groups of students from various grades to participate in a week-long, out-of-classroom educational experience of their choosing at the end of March. Students rank their top choices from a catalog of options, with themes ranging from crafts, to sports, to cultural exploration. All grades participate in Winterim, but younger students are typically selected for on-island programs that occur during the day, while older students may be selected for off-island programs and overnight programs. Several Winterim programs occur off the island of Maui, and occasionally outside of the state of Hawaii. Previous off-island programs have included trips to neighboring Hawaiian islands, Peru, Japan, and more. Each Winterim is led by an expert in the field, from outside of Seabury Hall, as well as at least one Seabury Hall faculty. There are no normal classes during the winter session. Due to COVID-19, Winterim instead takes place on campus with events run by the teachers. Students can earn stamps in the Winterim Passport by visiting learning stations and completing the tasks. Once their passport is full, it can be turned in for a chance to win fun prizes.
