Dress Code:
Wear casual clothes that are suitable for the warmer southern climate, as well as suitable clothing for a young leader. Here are a few guidelines for the dress code: - T-shirts are OK as long as there are no questionable slogans - No sleeveless shirts allowed - Shorts & skirts should be of knee length - Comfortable shoes - In case you have any free time at the pool, bring a one-piece swimsuit. - Please note that meeting rooms are typically cold which is why we suggest you bring a sweatshirt. - No hats should be worn in the meeting room . Remember, please dress very modestly. If any of our SLU staff has a problem with what you are wearing, you will be asked to change. Basic rule: “err on the side of caution.”
Medical Release Form:
Group leaders must bring a medical release form for any minors attending without a parent/guardian and keep them with you at all times during the program. You can view a sample medical release form by clicking here.
If you are single, you must print and have your guardian fill out the information. You will be asked to turn this form in on Day 1 of the conference.
Rooming:
All rooms are QUAD occupancy. For rooms of less than four people, there will be an additional charge of $64 per empty spot in Orlando Summer programs and $90 per empty spot in Orlando January and San Antonio. Rooms may not be co-ed unless members of the same family. Students under 18 may not room alone. Rooms will be available at 3:00 pm on the day of the conference. If you want to extend your stay to before or after the conference dates, you may do this for an additional charge of $85 per room per night in Orlando Summer programs and $125 per room per night in Orlando January and San Antonio.

How can I be preparing now for my SLU experience?
First of all, you can decide that you are going to get the most you can out of the experience by fully engaging in the sessions and training. We also encourage you to pray about what the Lord is going to teach you while you are at SLU and how He wants to use you to impact the world. READ as much as you can…the Bible, leadership material, newspapers, etc. For a suggested reading list, visit our website.
What qualifies a “group?”
A group is any number of students with at least one adult. (For example: one student and one adult, or 20 students and one adult).
Are there rollaway beds available?
Rollaway beds are available in king rooms for an additional charge, but will not be available in double bed rooms.
How old do I have to be to come to SLU?
If you are coming with a group, you must be at least going into 8th grade and have approval from your group leader.
Singles must be at least 15 years old in order to attend.
What do I do if I have dietary restrictions or food allergies?
If you have special dietary restrictions or food allergies, they must be submitted to SLU when you register. In order for SLU to arrange for your dietary needs you must submit the dietary restriction form at least 15 days in advance of you conference.
Once I am registered, how will I receive information on the conference?
All communication from SLU is done via email. Please make sure at the time of registration you enter an email address that you check regularly. Within 48 hours of registration, you will receive an email confirmation that we have received your registration. At this time you will also get instructions on how to access your personal web page where you can track your information on the conference.
Will I need transportation while I am at SLU?
Once you arrive at the hotel, you will not need transportation. SLU provides transportation to all of our off-site experiences. If you are flying, you will need to arrange your own transportation from the airport to the hotel and then back again.
I am bringing my car to SLU. Do I need to pay for parking?
Payment for parking varies according to hotel property. You can confirm this with the hotel once you register for SLU. You should plan on parking your car and not using it until the last SLU session is completed.
What does my SLU Staff Member do?
The SLU Summer Staff is made up of college students who are leaders on their campuses. Some are hand chosen to represent their university at SLU, and others are SLU Alumni who have completed at the least the first three levels of our SLU programs. They give their summer to serve you in every capacity. They will help guide you through the week, take care of any questions or details that you need assistance with, and just hang out with you.
Do you have recommendations on how to book flights to the conference?
For groups needing assistance making flight arrangements, SLU recommends contacting Go Travel Company. Ask for Kathy Nau at 800-800-7703 ext 116 or Kathyn@gotravelorlando.com. With over 30 years experience in the industry, Kathy is a great resource in helping groups find affordable flights.
