CONSPIRE! Housing and Meals

Meals

Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Dinner will be on your own.


Housing

Participants are responsible for their own housing. We encourage you to stay with friends or to get a hotel room with your group.

Participants are also encouraged to stay near Sojourners which is in Columbia Heights in Northwest DC or near a metro subway stop if possible.

Here are a few options to get you started!

CouchSurfing

A standard for budget travelers the world over, CouchSurfing is a great way to see a city, make new friends, witness rare hospitality and stay in a great place for free. The site details how CouchSurfing works, outlines safety procedures, and puts you in touch with D.C. residents willing to open parts of their homes - floors, spare rooms, couches - to anyone who needs them. www.couchsurfing.com

Hostels and Hotels

While hotels may offer a more comfortable stay, hostels may prove the best option for groups on a budget. The hostels in Washington, D.C., vary significantly in size and tone - care must be taken to find exactly what you are looking for.
