For summer camp and conference groups, Manchester’s residence halls offer attractive, comfortable rooms within a short walking distance of group meeting areas. Residence hall housing can accommodate groups up to 874 in size (514 air conditioned rooms and 360 without air conditioning). The rooms, available in various suite configurations, are furnished with chairs, desks, dressers and/or armoires for usefulness and convenience. Linens are also available as an inexpensive option. 

All rooms are equipped with free high-speed Internet ports, so your group can stay connected during their stay. They’re also welcome to use any of Manchester’s many campus computer labs as desired.  And fitness buffs can grab a workout at our fitness center, tennis courts and racquetball/handball courts.

Oakwood Hall and Helman Hall also feature expansive great rooms, which offer an attractive space for meetings, presentations and sessions. Alternately, these flexible rooms can simply serve as a friendly “built-in” location for guests to relax and mingle. Kitchenettes, laundry facilities, vending machines, and table games such as pool and foosball are also available in each hall. 

Summer camps and conferences rooms are available from the last week of May through the second week of August. For housing prices in any of the beautiful resident halls featured below, please contact Conference Services.
