KEY students are not allowed to leave the program at any time for outside activities.  If you need to make a choice between KEY and some other activity, please let us know as soon as possible so that we may notify an alternate that a space is available.

Each residence hall room is furnished with two single beds.  Individual rooms do have sinks, and restrooms are “down the hall.”  Maid service is not provided.  You should bring your own soap, water-glass, clothes hangers, alarm clock, etc.  PLEASE BRING A SLEEPING BAG OR BEDDING.

Can students bring bottled water or soda to class? Students are asked not to bring drinks into the classroom.

Can students bring a cell phone? Key is a very active and intense learning environment. To get the full benefit of the program it is our goal to have the students completely immersed in the experience. Therefore, students are asked to leave their cell phones at home. If your student absolutely needed to contact you, there is a phone in the lobby of the dorm or the counselors all have access to cell phones.

Can students bring a fan for the rooms? There is a central swamp cooler system that cools the dorms. Students may bring a fan if it helps them sleep.

Can students bring snacks to keep in their rooms? Students will eat in the cafeteria and will have several choices from which to choose and snacks are offered during evening activities. If you decide to send snacks with your child, they must be limited to non-perishable, healthy foods.

Can students bring a camera, IPod, etc? Personal items are allowed and can only be used during free time. Please note: All personal items are the responsibility of the student. This should be taken into consideration when bringing high-valued items. Many children bring disposable cameras rather than more expensive models.

What type of clothes does my child wear to classes? Shorts and activewear are best. Students should also bring at least one pair of jeans and a light jacket or sweatshirt for the evening activities. If your student chooses a class with special clothing requirements, it will be indicated in the class information packets.

Does my child need to bring a laptop or is there access to a computer for email? Personal laptops are not allowed. Students have access to computers on campus where they can check their email. Most the time students are so busy and having so much fun, they don’t think to check their email.
