Frequently Asked Questions
If the program is residential, then yes, and this is an important part of the whole camp experience.
Students are constantly supervised by our team of mentors. The mentors also stay in the dorms throughout the duration of the program.
The only thing the students will need spending money for is if they would like to purchase souvenirs or extra snacks.
Linens are provided; however, we encourage you to bring your own to feel more comfortable. (Sheets are size twin extra long.)
Students can be picked up only at the Lansing airport the first day of summer programs. Please contact us before booking the flight. If the student arrives at the Detroit airport, there is a bus service called: Michigan Flyer
Michigan Flyer | Michigan Bus to Detroit Metro Airport and this bus can drop the student at the East Lansing Marriott Hotel where we can pick up the participant.
