Important Registration Information

Important Changes!

This summer, the Lane Center will be undergoing extensive renovations. As a result, the activities that have been held there in the past, such as Meetings for Worship, Plenery Sessions, the Bookstore, Information Table, and the Yearly Meeting Office will all be moved to the nearby Performing Arts Center. For reference, consult the map of the campus.

Rates

Register before June 28, 2010 to take advantage of lower rates and avoid lines at the registration desk.


Flexible Arrival

If you pay in full in advance with your registration form and completed medical forms for everyone under 18 years of age (and Letters of Understanding for Young Friends), you can check in to your room at any time. Whenever you arrive, go directly to FSU’s 24-hour Registration Desk in Westminster Hall to receive name tag, meal card and room key.


Registration Hours

If you have NOT completely prepaid and sent all of your forms to the BYM office, your first stop on campus needs to be the BYM Registration Desk, located in Westminster Hall. Volunteers will be there to help you at these times:
Monday: noon - 2:15 p.m.
 4:30 p.m - 5:00 p.m.
Tuesday: 12:30 p.m. - 2:45p.m.
 5:00 p.m.- 5:30 p.m.
 9:15 p.m - 9:30 p.m.
Wednesday: 1:15 p.m.- 2:00 p.m.
 5:00 p.m.- 5:30 p.m.
 9:15 p.m - 9:30 p.m.
Thursday-Saturday 1:15 p.m.- 2:00 p.m.
 5:00 p.m.- 5:30 p.m.


Arrival Information

PLEASE NOTE: If you will be arriving after 9:30 p.m. on any day, you must prepay in full or make special arrangements in advance with the Yearly Meeting Office to be able to get into your room. If you arrive when the BYM Registration Desk is not open and you have not prepaid and sent in all necessary forms, feel free to join the scheduled adult activities until the next registration time (see above.) Children, however, may not join the children’s program until we have copies of their Medical Release forms. All children must remain in the care of their parents or sponsors until the next registration time.


Medical Release Forms

We MUST have a medical release form on file for each minor child.


Room Occupancy

The University will allow up to two children to sleep on mattresses on the floor in the room of other family members, provided that both beds in the room have been paid for. No more than four people in a room, please! You must register with a roommate to have children sleep on the floor.


Housing Information

All bedrooms have two twin beds, two desks, two chests of drawers, and two small closets. Bathrooms are a short distance down the hall and are shared. Beds come with pillows and blanket.

Linens: These can be rented from the University for $10 per week. A linen set includes two sheets, one pillowcase, two towels and a wash cloth. Alternatively, you may bring your own linens (including towels). Dorm beds may have extra-long twin mattresses.

Keys

You will be charged $25 if you lose your room key.


Meals

All adults and older children staying on campus—campers and those in the residence halls—will receive meal cards to use in the University dining room. Please keep these cards in a safe place, as you cannot eat without them and there is a $20 charge to replace a meal card. Three meals are included in each day’s fees.

Meal-days begin with dinner on the day of arrival and continue though lunch the following day. Please check at the BYM Registration Desk (Westminster) or Information Table (Performing Arts Center) to find out how to purchase individual meals if you arrive before lunch or want to stay for dinner on your day of departure.

The cafeteria will have vegetarian and non-vegetarian options at every meal. Attenders with very specific dietary requirements should bring what they need. There is a small refrigerator and a microwave in each room.


Commuters

Those who prefer to stay off campus may register as commuters. You have the option to receive meal cards for lunch and dinner. If you would like breakfast, make arrangements for that at the BYM Registration Desk.


Comfort & Convenience

Frostburg can be cool, even in August. It’s wise to bring a sweater for comfort, particularly in the evenings and the Meeting for Business room is often cool.

Other things you may wish to bring: Desk lamp, alarm clock, fan, bath mat, bathrobe, shower shoes, swim suit, hangers, soap, toiletries caddy, extra pillows, umbrella, Interchange.

"Once having the vision, the second step to holy obedience is this: Begin where you are. Obey now. Use what little obedience you are capable of, even if it be like a grain of mustard seed."
