Roommate requests

We make every effort to honor requests. We generally keep room assignments within a three-year age range so campers feel comfortable, so a request with a larger age gap may not be possible.

Assignments also depend on supervision and housing needs, and we can't guarantee every request. Rooms are finalized before camp and generally can't be changed.
