Optional Camp Housing and Meal Options
Housing and meals are provided through Westminster College for students who are visiting the Salt Lake City area. Students will be housed in private rooms on the Westminster College campus. Each student has a private room that is connected to a shared bathroom(s) kitchen and living room. Phone access is NOT provided. Wireless internet will be available in the Jewett (music) Center. Rooms are furnished with blanket, mattress pad, top and bottom sheet, pillow and pillow slip, shampoos, soaps, and bath paper products.
