Resident campers will be housed in Catlett Hall, which is a newer, air-conditioned residence hall on the main UI campus, about a 15-minute walk to Voxman Music Building.

Housing is limited and will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. 

Housing requests will be honored to the extent possible based on room availability, but a student who requests a single occupant room may be assigned to a double occupant room if that is the only remaining room option. If that occurs, the parent/guardian will be contacted for permission to make the assignment and the difference in the cost of housing ($75.00) will be refunded.
