Lodging and Camping
• This course is offered at a traditional summer camp located within one mile of the town of Idyllwild. (The specific location & directions will be provided with your Confirmation Materials.) Lodging is not included in the tuition cost, and you are welcome to make any type of arrangements you prefer, including commuting to the course on a daily basis.

The camps offer the following lodging or camping options:

1. Dorm-style lodging is available, in traditional camp-style dorms, on bunk beds in a dorm with other students (private lodging is not available at these camps). Dorm-style lodging is available for $21 per person, per night.

2. Tent-camping is available at the camp as well- you may bring your own equipment or vehicle, and camp on site at the cost of $15 per person, per night.

In either case, you will have access to bathrooms and showers. There is a large, commercial-style kitchen that is available to you to do meal preparation and refrigerated food storage. Note that if you use the kitchen, bathroom and shower facilities regularly during the course, you will be charged for the tent camping fees, even if you do not actually stay at the camp.
