Where will my teen be staying overnight?
Participants, Chaperones, Group Leaders will be assigned to dorm rooms, separated by gender and type. Most dorms are not air conditioned
Linens are not provided. Plan to bring sheets, pillows, towels, washcloths, etc.
Approximately 1/3 of all participants, chaperones included, will need to plan to bring air mattresses or sleeping mats, as we sleep 3 people in a room with 2 beds, or 6 people in a room with 4 beds (in accordance w/ fire codes).
What if my teen has a dietary need?
You may note any dietary needs on your child’s registration. They will be given a dietary wristband and at meal times they will be directed to the dietary needs table to replace any food they could not eat in the regular meal line.
