TRANSPORTATION
We recommend you have transportation available throughout your week at camp. Most hotels & condos properties will require group leaders to provide transportation to the Event Center. If you plan to bringing buses, we recommend you have a standard size vehicle to use for those late night runs to grab ice cream for your awesome adult leaders or any other unexpected situations that may arise. Please also note that most beachfront condos do not allow bus or trailer parking.
SLEEP
Student Life has partnered with some area hotels and condos so you can book your own rooms at a discounted rate! This gives you the flexibility and control to have the number of rooms & types of rooms you need to best accommodate your group! Want to arrive 1 day early or stay an extra night? Coordinate your needs with the housing option of your choice! Head over to the Beach Page to find more details (select the Orange Beach button).
MEALS
Meals are not included in the price of Beach camp giving you an opportunity to explore the many options around the area!
Some local favorite restaurants include: The Hangout, Tacky Jack’s, Lucy Buffett’s LuLu’s, Moe’s Original BBQ and a picnic at one of the State Parks.
