Jewett Residence Hall

You will stay at the Jewett Residence Hall while at WNDI.

Jewett is a comfortable, modern styled residence hall and houses all of our participants. Each room has two sections that you can use as two bedrooms or as a living room and a bedroom. There are spacious bathrooms on each floor and you shower alone in private. In each room, you will find beautiful beachwood furniture including desks, hutches, and cabinets for your clothing. There’s a phone in each room too.

The layout of most of the Jewett rooms. Plenty of space with closets, chest drawers, and desks. The beds can quickly be made into sofas for sitting and talking.

Jewett’s main floor lounge is a great place to hang out. It features comfortable chairs, sofas, piano, and plenty of space to stretch out. Students typically cut cards, talk, play games, and relax in the Jewett main lounge.

There’s also a downstairs lounge with a television, VCR and DVD player, ping-pong table, and pool table. A laundry room downstairs is available to all institute participants throughout the camp.
