Carleton’s Regional Carls Program

The All-School Picnic is a Houston Carleton Club annual tradition, a great opportunity for all members of the Houston Carleton community to come together for sharing, conversation, and great food!

Class of 2018 and your families

A special welcome to you!

Returning students and your families

Please share your first-hand knowledge of heading to Carleton for the first time.  Lots of feedback from previous years is that this means a great deal to first year students and their families! 

Carls with families

The ideal event for you! Grade school kids enjoy helping with the balloons, and toddlers can run around at whim.

Graduate students

Priced right for even the tightest budget!

All Carls and Parents

As you know from previous years, this is a wonderfully laid-back, casual event to catch up with old friends and make new ones!
