Location and Accommodations
This program will be conducted in classroom and lab facilities on Penn State's University Park campus in State College, Pennsylvania.
The Penn State residence halls are an ideal lodging location for youth programs. Housing, Food Services, and Residence Life offers a secure and friendly environment for youth. The residence hall community also offers an excellent atmosphere for fun, learning, and growth.
Each floor is gender-specific, and each building is normally assigned to only one gender. University policy requires that youth groups provide a minimum of one counselor for every twenty participants of the same gender. Counselors must be 18 years or older and of the same gender as the participants. Housing also provides one conference assistant per building for youth programs. Our conference assistants can help participants who need directions, experience homesickness, have roommate issues, etc.All residence hall areas have television lounges and pay laundry facilities. Pay phones are available in the commons areas.
Attendees may indicate one roommate preference on the registration form. Listing a roommate preference does not guarantee enrollment of the roommate in the program. If no preference is indicated, the housing office will assign a roommate.
Each hall has twenty-four-hour door-card access for assigned residents. Only residents can access the hall. The doors are always locked.
Because the security and safety of youth participants are important, youth attendees must be in their assigned residence halls by 11:00 p.m. University-student auxiliary police monitor the residence halls and surrounding areas overnight.
