Housing

Dorm rooms to wilderness camping.
Housing is arranged in cooperation with the host organizations and therefore varies by site. You may be housed on site - in cabins, dorms or tents -- or off site - at a local church, school, or college dorm. To get a better idea about housing at a particular site, select a program from our list and click on the "housing" link.

Whether living in a school gymnasium or a church parlor, it is important to understand that you are considered a representative of Landmark Volunteers. You are expected to maintain the excellent reputation of the volunteers who have come before you. It is important to respect the shared space with your team members and your hosts and to leave all of the spaces a little better than you found them.

WHERE DO THE VOLUNTEERS STAY?
Traditionally the volunteers have been housed in a variety of locations that include church rooms, school buildings, dormitories, cabins, barns, teepees and tents. Each student should be aware that some housing arrangements will be more rustic than others. Details concerning living accommodations will be sent to each participating student.

WHAT ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR MEALS?
Meal arrangements vary from site to site and in most cases students will have an opportunity to prepare their own meals in kitchens at or near the housing location. Cafeteria food or campfire cooking may also be offered.

MY CHILD IS A VEGETARIAN - WILL THERE BE ENOUGH FOOD FOR HIM/HER?
At the sites where the volunteers do their own cooking, each member has a say in what he/she would like to eat and is encouraged to bring favorite recipes. If the site provides meals, there is usually enough choice to satisfy a vegetarian. Many of our volunteers are vegetarians. .
