Alternative Event: AMC Evening Treehouse

Feeling too tired from all the AMC goodness to attend the party events? Come to the Treehouse! This relaxed, kid-friendly, wheelchair-accessible, alcohol-free space will be open on a drop-in basis from 9pm until 2am. Activities may include arts & crafts, watching movies, geeking out on our laptops, or just sitting around talking. We especially welcome folks who are shy, traveling solo, or who physically/emotionally need a chill place to hang out!

The Treehouse is in the Memorial Hall (in the Cass Corridor Commons). Enter through the back of the building, which has a wheelchair ramp. Note: Food isn't provided, but you're welcome to bring your own. This is an alcohol-free event. Please come scent-free (no products like lotion or deodorant that contain "fragrance" or essential oils) to make this space more accessible to our fellow Treehouse dwellers!
