Hotels
We don't have an official camp hotel.  For the June camps, we recommend staying locally at Red Roof Inn or Super 8.  The cost of Red Roof Inn is about $58/night plus tax. So if 2 of you share a room, the cost is $29/night/person plus tax.  If you need someone to share with, let me know and I'll try to pair you with someone.  As long as your hotel is within 5 miles of the academy, we will offer daily transportation for you (for those of you who don't have cars).  For the July/August camps, it is the busy season, so we already reserved rooms at the woodspring suites.  The cost is $60/night.  You can pay us directly to the Ohio Mega Camp #3 and #4 accommodations.  
 
 
Accommodations for Minors
For minors, most of them are staying with Coach Chance Friend.  The cost to stay with him is $30/night and includes staying and includes him driving the player back and forth each day to SDTTA.  Kids need to bring sleeping bags and/or air mattresses.  The $30/night does not include food.
