We have been blessed to see a wide range of backgrounds, ages, and relationship statuses attend this conference. Here is a look at some of our demographics from 2024:

*attended as caretaker for guest

• Bible
• Notebook if you like to take notes
• Travel water bottle
• Snacks if desired (there are refrigerators available)
• Games or activities for free time
• $1 donation towards supplies if doing craft workshop
• Toiletries (bed linens and towels are provided)

Hotel Style

• The hotel style rooms are double occupancy with a bathroom. These are comparable to your typical hotel room with two double beds.

Dorm Style

• The dorm style rooms are triple occupancy. There is an option for a fourth member, but they would need to stay in a top bunk. These rooms have shared bathrooms in the hallway typical of your typical dorm set-up.

*Please note that there is very little cell-phone reception at this location, especially for Version users. However, there is Wi-Fi and landlines are available.

There are a limited number of rooms available at Watson Woods. If we allowed for single occupancy, it would significantly lower the amount of people we would be able to have stay on-site. Sharing rooms also helps us keep the costs down for you! If you are truly uncomfortable sharing a room, we suggest utilizing one of the nearby hotels.
