Youth and Adult Chaperone Housing
Youth and chaperones will be housed in the same proximity, under the same roof, but will not be expected to share sleeping quarters (i.e. bedrooms). If your diocesan policy does not allow for youth and adults to be housed under the same roof, your group must stay off campus.
In the Evenings:
Your Housing Hosts are located on the first floor of your residence hall. They are available throughout the weekend should you need anything.
Lockdown
Make sure to take everything that you will need for the day with you when you leave for breakfast or the Morning Session, as all residence halls will be closed at 8:30 a.m. and will not open again until after the evening session.
You will not be permitted to enter the dorms during the day.
Expectations
Members of the opposite sex are not permitted in each other’s sleeping facilities.
Food in the residence halls is permitted, BUT please make sure to clean up after eating.
Do not move the furniture.
Leave a clear aisle from your door to your window for safety reasons. Additionally, do not open or otherwise touch the windows. No yelling out of or climbing through residence hall windows.
Everyone is to be in the dorms by midnight; do not leave the residence hall after this time.

Please keep quiet after lights out. Group Leaders are responsible for the noise level of their youth.
No horseplay or excessive noise in residence hall restrooms.
No removing, damaging, or vandalizing signs or residence hall property.
Only main doors are to be used for entrance/exit throughout the weekend.

Smoking and the use of candles is prohibited in all facilities.
Leave no trash behind; trash cans are available for your use during check out.
In order to abide more effectively by the Diocese of Steubenville’s Child Protection policies, all occupied rooms will be labeled with the Group Leader’s last name and the respective occupants, i.e. adult chaperone or youth. This will help us keep all participants safe and also help us find the respective Group Leaders and chaperones more quickly in case of emergency. All guests may shower in the provided bathrooms in the assigned residence halls. Please note: Restrooms are designated by “Adult Chaperone” and “Youth” respectively, in order to adhere to Safe Environment standards.
