Rooms
Housing during Hava Nashira is assigned by gender. Transgender, non-binary, and otherwise genderqueer participants are given the option of whether they would like to live in spaces identified as masculine or feminine, or with other transgender or non-binary folks.

 

A core value of Sing Unto God is to create and maintain safe, inclusive spaces. If you are feeling worried or have questions about housing arrangements specifically, please don't hesitate to reach out to Cantor Rosalie Will.

Bed and bath linens, as well as pillows and blankets, are provided in every room, building, and cabin.

Double-occupancy rooms contain two twin beds and private bath. (Triple occupancy is available at the double occupancy rate). If you have a roommate in mind, you will be able to request them in registration, or add someone after registration, or we will match according to the information you provide.​

​

*There are a number of triple occupancy rooms available as well, at the same cost. If you would like to share a room with two others you will be able to add their names in registration.

​

There are two buildings that have these double occupancy rooms with a private bath. The SUG team will choose which building you're housed in (you cannot request a specific building below). Here are the descriptions:

​

Soref Center: The rooms in soref center each have two twin beds with an attached private bathroom. The private bathroom is a standard toilet and shower, no urinal.

This housing has rooms with two beds, but a shared hallway bathroom. 

​

​Nerenberg: Nerenberg rooms each have two twin beds with one desk and two dressers. These are private rooms. The building has two public bathrooms. One bathroom has three private shower stalls (one is handicap accessible) and two toilets and two urinals. The other bathroom has three private shower stalls (one is handicap accessible) and three toilets.

Cabin

$630 per person for cabin, for the Camp Songleader Track Intensive and Hava Nashira (May 15-20)

$560 per person for cabin for Hava Nashira (May 17-20), including the new Emerging Leaders cabin for those in their 20s

​​​

Sports Center East/West Cabins: These cabins are all winterized and are traditional bunk style housing. Each cabin has three rooms (wings). Each room has about 8-12 bunks for a total of 16-24 beds. The beds are all standard twin size. The three rooms of each cabin share two sets of bathrooms.

 

All cabin bathrooms have three or four toilet stalls, three or four shower stalls, and one handicap accessible shower stall that is larger size with handlebars and changing space. Each bathroom also has an extra-large toilet stall with a sealed shut door.

 

Some cabins have built in curtain areas for additional private space for changing within the cabins.​​

 

We anticipate only putting 8-10 people in any given room in a cabin.

​

*Many adults choose to stay in cabins as well; we house under 26 separately from over 26 year olds.

 

Hotel

Many people prefer to have their own sleeping space. As such, we offer a registration rate for programs and meals of $300 for the length of the conference if you choose to stay off-site. If you are a registered participant, there are no restrictions on coming and going from camp at any time.

​

We suggest the Hilton Garden Inn Oconomowoc on Pabst Farms Circle, about a 15 minute drive from camp. We do not have a block, please reserve your own room. We do not provide a shuttle or arrange transportation.

Often, someone has a car to share rides, or Ubers will be easy and inexpensive. If you have more questions, email Jordyn Kay.
