Summer Lodging & Meals

Summer 2025 Lodging Options

Housing offerings are very limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you reserve housing, the better your chance of receiving your preferred option. Anderson Ranch is offering two types of single-occupancy housing for summer 2025 as well as a double-occupancy option. For the safety of the Anderson Ranch community, Ranch-provided housing is only available to students who are attending workshops.

Rates below reflect six nights of accommodations as well as select meals. A sales and lodging tax of 12.8% will be added to the lodging portion at the time of registration. To guarantee your housing reservation, payment is due in full 60 days prior to the start date of your stay. Smoking and pets are not permitted at Anderson Ranch or in Anderson Ranch-provided housing.

**Anderson Ranch Arts Center seeks to provide a living environment which is welcoming to all gender identities. We recognize that the traditional binary options do not accurately represent the full range of students that make up the Anderson Ranch community. Students who desire inclusive housing are encouraged to denote that preference in the registration process.. Gender-inclusive housing allows individuals to room together regardless of biological sex. This means that students who sign up for inclusive housing will be assigned roommates from across the entire gender spectrum. This policy has been developed to better provide a supportive environment where all students can feel safe in their housing with respect to their gender identity and gender expression. We believe that offering gender-inclusive housing is reflective of our mission to create a more inclusive campus and community environment.

During the summer the Café serves three meals a day, Monday through Friday as well as a welcome dinner on Sunday and a continental breakfast on Saturday. All food preparation is overseen by ServSafe managers. The Café has comfortable indoor and outdoor seating that is arranged in accordance with current health and safety guidelines.

NEW: Tuition includes a welcome dinner and lunches. In our effort to foster a stronger sense of community and accessibility at Anderson Ranch, we include the welcome dinner and all lunches as part of the tuition for summer workshop students.

Allergies: Anderson Ranch takes food allergies very seriously and is not equipped to handle allergic reactions. If you have specific dietary needs or life threatening allergies, booking your own accommodations off campus is your best option so you have access to a refrigerator and cooking facilities.

Housing offerings are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you reserve housing, the better your chance of receiving your preferred option. Anderson Ranch is offering both a private room with a private bath option as well as a private room with a shared bath option for January 2025. For the safety of the Anderson Ranch community, Ranch-provided housing is only available to students who are attending workshops.
