Dorm Accommodations

The Gathering begins Sunday Julne 30. On-campus housing during the Gathering is available only for full-time and half-time Gathering attenders. Prior to Friday June 28, housing is only available by special arrangement.  On campus housing is not available after Saturday morning, July 6.

UNC dorms (except for the AYF dorm) are in the West Campus with the dining room and the academic buildings.   Both singles (rooms for one person) and doubles (shared rooms with two beds) are available. (See special notes if registering for half of the Gathering.) All dorms are air conditioned except the HIgh School dorm due to housing contraints of the campus.  All dorms except for the High School and AYF dorms are in suites.  There are different configurations of suites in different dorms, ranging from one single with a private bath, two five singles, to two doubles.  No suite has more than five beds.

Each bed comes with sheets, pillowcase, towel, washcloth, mattress pad, light blanket, and pillow.

Most dorms have only one refrigerator available for public use; priority access to it will be for those with medical needs. Of course, those choosing the "prepare own food" option will have a refrigerator in their apartment.

Housing Clusters

All registrants (except High School Program participants) are assigned to general housing unless they choose a specific housing cluster or a prepare-your-food meal plan.  Read more about housing clusters.

Camping

There is no on-campus tent camping or overnight RVs. Read about nearby campgrounds.  Friends camping off-campus register for the Gathering as commuters.

Hotels

There are few hotels in Greeley, and they are likely to be full during the Gathering.  There are on-campus singles and doubles with private baths.

Meals

The Gathering meals will be all-you-care-to-eat, served in one dining room near all of the dorms (except for the Adult Young Friends dorm).  Read more about meal plan choices and special diets.
