Where do the students stay?

Students will stay in our residence halls on the University of Mary campus. Chaperones and residence hall directors will be present during their stay.

How are meals managed?

Meals are provided by the University of Mary. Students will be appointed meal vouchers and eat in our on campus restaurant, The Crow’s Nest. In some instances, select partners may provide meals while off-site. In those instances, any food allergies will be communicated prior to arrival at the site.

What if my kid has allergies?

Within the registration form is a designated area to denote any allergies or medical considerations. Also, upon registration, a secondary form will be sent with further instructions and the opportunity to specify any allergies. The Crow’s Nest has an allergy-friendly station, “Allergies Avast!”. The Allergies Avast! station caters to particular dietary needs (intolerances, allergies, aversions, etc.).

What should students bring?

A reminder email with a full list of items will be sent out prior to the event itself. Items to plan for are a pillow and bedding/sleeping bag, towel, toiletries, clothing for a range of North Dakota summer weather, and good walking shoes.
