Haunted HEEP is October 29, 2025

The highly anticipated UConn Halloween event of the year, Haunted HEEP, will be Wednesday, October 29 from 7p-9:30p. Rain date is Thursday, October 30.

Haunted HEEP is a free, one mile scary hike through Hillside Environmental Education Park (HEEP). The HEEP is a remediated landfill area and natural forest reserve on the UConn-Storrs campus, behind the Innovation Partnership Building. The Office of Sustainability hosts the event to introduce guests to one of the closest trails to campus in the hopes they visit on their own in the future.

Everyone is welcome to attend but you MUST fill out this waiver

Parents and their children can attend but it is too scary for children under 14 years old.

Check in at the HEEP Trailhead Parking Lot between 7pm-9:30pm. T-shirts will be given to the first 50 students to survive the Haunted HEEP! Wear comfortable walking shoes that can get muddy.

New Twist!

Throughout the Haunted HEEP are hidden flyers with the faces of Office of Sustainability Interns – the “Missing Intern Files”. Thirteen of these will be scattered across the trail and if you find one, you receive a prize! All winners will get a Dunkin Donuts gift card, but depending on the intern file you find, additional rewards can be added. Arrive at 7pm for the best shot at finding a Missing Intern File! Only one flyer can be collected per person. If you find one, let Haunted HEEP staff at the exit know and they’ll direct you to the reward table.
