Dorm Accommodations

We will have on-campus dorms available for those who want to stay close to the campus and the week’s activities.  We will have access to two different facilities:

King Residence Hall – This will be reserved for our teenagers and their parents. This is a traditional style college dorm. Most rooms contain two twin beds and will hold two people.  There are also two rooms that will hold 4 each.  We will be housing boys and girls on different levels, with adults staying on a level in between.  There are two large dorm-style bathrooms on every floor.  We will have access to all the bathrooms on each floor (3 floors total).  There is a common area with a television, kitchen, and ping-pong table.  Common areas, including bathrooms, will be cleaned by the staff during the week.  There are also two coin-free laundry facilities in this building.

Please note the following:

-        This is a newer building than the one we were offered last year.  It is slightly further from the Student Center, but not across the street and still just a short walk away. It is located behind the library for those of you who remember where that is from last year.

-        There will be no chaperones, so parents will be responsible for their teenagers.

Apartment Complex – These will be reserved for our older brothers/sisters and for younger families. These units are newer and have two levels.  These have more of a “home like” environment.  We have access to three units and each unit has a max capacity of 20 people.  These units will be booked on a first come, first serve basis.  Each apartment unit has four wings.  Each wing features two double rooms that share a “Jack and Jill” bathroom and two single rooms that share one single bathroom.  There is a common area on each floor that has a kitchen with two microwaves, two large refrigerators and dishwasher.   There are also free laundry facilities in these buildings.  Please state when you are making your reservations if you are unable to navigate stairs so that we can accommodate you with a ground floor room.

Cost – $18 per person/per night at both buildings. Children 5 and under are free.

Other information – The University will be providing shower curtains, a trash can in each bathroom, and toilet paper in all dorms.  You will be responsible for bringing your own bedding, towels, and any kitchen supplies such as coffee makers, etc.  The University also has linens available for $3 per person, including bedding and towels. 

Meals and T-shirts – All meals listed will again be $5, with children 5 and under eating free. The BBQ lunch on July 4th and the lunch provided at Haw Creek Falls are at no charge, but please don't forget to make your reservation for those  meals as well! More information on the menu will be updated as soon as we receive that from the university.  T-shirts will be $10 again and the design will be posted soon.

Reservations – To make reservations, you may email Daniel and Tera Reeves at tkreeves15@yahoo.com or you can call or text 479-214-4597 by June 1^st.  Please send money by June 8th to: c/o Daniel Reeves 190 PR 3437, Clarksville, AR 72830.
