It’s a Great Life in the Dorm!

Staying in the dormitory adds depth and flavor to the Youth Ministry. Dorms are basic in style with bunk beds and communal bathrooms. Experienced youth counselors supervise dorm-life and participate in activities and services. Often, young people make friends who become a peer support group throughout the school year. Mornings and nights begin with devotions and prayer time.

Dorm-life is available for young people from 14 or older or going into the 9th Grade through the age of 21. The basic cost per day is $15 for an air-conditioned dorm room and for eating three meals in the Cafeteria. Per meal limits are $4 for Breakfast and $5 for Lunch and Supper. If you want more food at any given meal, you must pay the amount in excess of the per meal limit.

Each young person has “kitchen duty” for one meal a day at the Cafeteria. Kitchen duty may include serving meals, waiting on tables and washing dishes. Even these responsibilities teach young people team work and communication!

Camaraderie is a very important aspect of dorm life. It provides teenagers an opportunity to open up and have fellowship with one another.

Our Youth Say It Best!

“Dorm life is bad for sleep, but great for getting to know other guys on a real level! You stop being fake and start being real. The whole fake front lasts for about 3 days before it takes a hike. One of the best aspects of dorm life is time with the counselors who are available for discussion and prayer.”

“Dorm life gives kids the opportunity to open up and have fellowship with one another. You are able to confide in counselors and get advice from an “older friend” who has already been through these waters. A counselor is an older, wiser friend who can say what parents can’t.”
