Students live in the Sports Dorm at Giants Ridge, a beautiful ski and golf resort four miles from the town of Aurora, Minnesota. Complete recreational facilities are available to students, including swimming, biking, kayaking, and canoeing. Giant’s Ridge has two of the top-ranked golf courses in the United States for participants or parents who are golf enthusiasts.

Adult participants and parents who choose to accompany their young children are housed at The Lodge at Giant’s Ridge, a few steps from the Sports Dorm.

Meals are provided on-site or at one of the many local restaurants in Aurora.

Buses transport students and faculty from Giants Ridge to Aurora daily; shuttles run between the hotel and Aurora multiple times per day.

The Fourth of July is a big event in small Iron Range town--you'll be riding the Minnesota Power/Northern Lights float down Main Street, enjoying the festivities and performing on the 4th of July Concert, the closing event of the Festive Fourth.
