EXPLANATION OF HOUSING CHOICES

FOR 2008 IAIDO CAMP

There are three choices for housing at this camp.

 

Choice 1 will be the choice of most of the attendee given its attractive cost and easy access.  This choice is $60 per day and gives the choice of a single or double air conditioned dorm room with a shared shower and toilet down the hall.  BMC undergrad school is for women only.  Therefore, some of the women’s toilets and showers will be relabeled for use by men.  Besides the room, the $60 gives you 3 meals a day in the Haffner Dining Hall, and the right to use the facilities of BMC including the gym.  It is a fairly small campus with the walk from the gym to Haffner taking 5-10 minutes.  That is about as far as you can go and still be on campus.

 

 

 

Choice 2 will be used by those who prefer a hotel.  Unfortunately, there are not any affordable hotels that close to Bryn Mawr College (BMC).  In near by King of Prussia Pennsylvania there are many hotels to cater to the large number of business facilities in that area.  It is about 8 miles from BMC but it is very easy drive to go from one to the other.  The cost difference between the two choices can be reduced by sharing a room at the hotel.  The AUSKF rate applies to 1 to 4 in a room in the Best Western Hotel in King of Prussia PA.  Their rate for the AUSKF comes to about $115/night and including tax.  There is a comp. breakfast every morning. 

Staying off campus will require a day pass to use the BMC facilities.  To keep it simple, this pass also comes with a lunch ticket giving a total of $25/day.   This must be paid to the AUSKF on the Seminar form.   The hotel expenses are the responsibility person using the hotel.  So the total for staying in the hotel is $140 plus the cost of dinner each night.  By sharing with 4 in a room the cost is reduced to $82.50.day plus the cost of dinner.

 

 

Choice 3 will be used by those staying with friends or at home.  They will still have to purchase the Day Trip Pass for $25/day too be able to train in the BMC gym.  This will include lunch at the Haffner Dining Hall.  This must be paid to the AUSKF on the Seminar form by May 15,2008.
