Housing + Meals

Just Like Home

This is what camp life is all about. We look forward to taking care of your camper!

Being able to sleep in a dorm with a pretty cool experience. [My son] loves being able to room with the neighbor, and I think it was a bit eye-opening, and hopefully inspired him to want to come to college when he's older.

My daughter said the selection for the meals was really good and thought you had the best fries ever. She liked that she could take a muffin from the cafeteria for a morning snack in class. She thought the salad bar was pretty great.
