Where do the Participants Stay in Augusta?

Participants who arrange own housing (Hotel, Home, or Host they arrange)

will recieve a discount of $10.00 off their registration fee.

Option 1: Host Families

• The Youth in Government Program has a group of families in the Augusta area that serve as host families over the weekend.  Delegates meet the host families on Friday evening.
• The host families provide a place to sleep, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, and transportation to and from the program.
• Delegates are placed with host families in groups of at least 2.  We ask delegates to choose a       roommate so it is someone they know.
  
• Host families are great people and enjoy having the delegates for the weekend. 
• Once housing arrangements are made we will email them to advisors.  We ask that you double check them so we don't have to make changes once we arrive in Augusta.
• Participants may make their own Host arrangements by contacting previous year's host and getting them to agree to host them for the session.

Option 2: Hotel Stay

• Some groups decide that they would like to arrange their own stay at a hotel.  This is at the expense of that group.  You must provide your own transportation, and Saturday and Sunday breakfast.  Delegation must have their own chaperone for the hotel.
• We can give some assistance in what hotels we have had groups stay at, so you can contact them about arrangements and cost.

Option 3: Arrange own Housing

• Very often delegations will contact past host families, or family friends or relatives in the area to stay with. 

Option 4: Stay at Home

• Delegations from the Capital area often stay at home; they work on their own transportation to and from the State House.
• Those local groups we ask if they can serve as host families.  It makes for a great weekend for the delegates needing a host to stay with a family that is participating in the program.

Option 5: Stay at Camp (Only available if Camp is ok for delegations to request)

• We have an area Camp that has heated cabins that we have had groups stay at.  We provide the transportation to and from and the breakfast each day. 
• Delegates bring sleeping bags and toiletries for their stay at the camp. 
• We ask for volunteers to stay at the camp, and use it only when enough host families can’t be found.
