Housing
Students in the 5-12th grade Overnight Challenge Program will stay in Saint Vincent campus housing (Rooney Hall). Students will have a roommate of the same gender and will try to be paired with a student from the same age level (grades 5-12). Students may request a roommate when registering.

Meals 
Meals will be provided by the Campus Cafeteria, which is run by Parkhurst Dining. Students in the 5-12th grade program will receive breakfast, lunch, and dinner while at Saint Vincent. These meals are included in the Challenge tuition cost.

Three meals and one snack are provided. You may bring snacks if you'd like; refrigeration not available.

Medications
Many students with medicinal needs have been able to join us for the program. The Health and Wellness Center on campus is staffed with medical professionals that dispense medications provided by you in a professional and discreet manner. They are also available most waking hours for issues and emergencies. 911 would take over after hours should the need arise. Medications will need to be marked with the child's name and come with the correct prescription packaging.

If you would like to order a photo, $10.00 cash or check will be collected at registration by your child's counselor .
