NEWARK

Camps & Summer Housing

Your home away from home

Every summer, our campus is buzzing with multi-day conferences, summer programs, and sports & academic camps. Join the fun!

Home away from home

From bees to ball games to new best buds, we’ve hosted them all.

And it may be cliché, but the possibilities really are endless here. Summer meeting and event guests have incredible access to nearly the entire campus.

Details:

  • Clayton Conference Center offers flexible spaces in a variety of room sizes.
  • Residence Halls can accommodate large groups and can be redesigned as suites.
  • Access to sports fields, sports complexes, open lawns, auditoriums, classrooms, labs, and theaters make planning work and leisure time easy.
  • Dining options can be a choice between our full catering services or dining hall-style convenience or a combination of both.

Expertise never gets old.

“Thank you so very very much for helping us ‘hit a home run’ with our week-long EAS bee conference. [The Conference Staff] continues to go out of the way to help make our conference run smoothly, and especially once again Mike and his staff with the technology really stepped up every time needed for us to get over the road bumps.

We sincerely appreciate your expertise and guidance in coordinating conferences such as ours with so many moving parts. It is such a pleasure to work with the entire staff. Thank you.”

Classrooms and private meeting rooms at Clayton

We have 18 meeting and conference rooms in Clayton Conference Center and adjoining Pencader. They can be configured up to six ways to accommodate as few as 14 to as many as 700.

Recreation, libraries, labs, galleries, and a classic Main Street

We are one of the oldest universities in the nation, amassing top-notch amenities along the way. You’ll find plenty of open green spaces, recreation opportunities, labs of varying sizes, libraries, and galleries with special collections to enjoy during your stay. A walkable Main Street runs right through upper campus offering boutiques, coffee shops, bookstores, eateries, socializing, and entertainment.
