When I tried to do that it did not work. I kept getting a message back that I did not have the appropriate permissions until I gave myself Author. Also, when I tried to just give Create and Read their own items and then tried to uncheck Folder visible it took Read Items away.
So, do they not need to have Read Items to make it work correctly?

If you don't give them Edit or Delete permissions they won't be able to reschedule or cancel meetings. I give my users permission to add items, and permission to edit and delete only their own items. I don't make the folder visible, don't let them create subfolders or any of that other stuff and it works fine. Most of my users are only vaguely aware that there is a Calendar folder for the conferences rooms - they just know that if they go into the meeting planner they can see the "Gantt Chart" that shows the conference room availability.
