There are six lodging options for the ICS. On campus: 1) Loud campground: located in the vicinity of the pavilion where the Howdy Party, Terminal Syphons Concert, and other evening social events will occur.
2) Quiet campground: Located on the opposite side of the Schreiner University campus. Both campgrounds are only a 1-5 minute walk from the sessions. Portable toilets, caver-built showers, and toilets and showers in the campus gymnasium will be available for the campgrounds. Combined, the on campus campgrounds total 27 acres. 3) Dormitories: Two beds in one air conditioned room. In three of the four dorm buildings, two rooms share one bathroom. In the fourth building (and last to be filled), 10 rooms share one large communal bathroom. 4) Apartments: Two bedrooms per apartments, with one bed per bedroom and one private bathroom per bedroom. They have a communal area plus a kitchen, but no utensils or cooking supplies. Off campus: 5) A diverse group of hotels and motels. 6) Kerrville-Schreiner Park: This is the park where TSA convention was held last spring and will likely occur again next spring. The ICS has reserved the area near the Guadalupe River, the same area where the TSA Convention occurred. Reservations for this area will be only for the ICS until 31 March 2009, after which any unreserved spots will be available to the general public. Key reasons to camp here are if you want direct access to the river, have an RV (not allowed in the Schreiner University campgrounds) or pets (also not allowed at Schreiner). Keep in mind that pets must not be left unaccompanied. If you bring a pet to Kerrville, bring friends or family members so at least someone can stay with the pet at the park. Another option is to coordinate among cavers coming with pets and rotate pet-sitting duties among a larger group. If you've made reservations at the park but were not aware that this area is reserved for the ICS, call the park to change your reservation to that area if needed and desired. Details on lodging options and all other aspects of the ICS are posted on the ICS website: www.ics2009.us. Maps of on-campus camping are currently being drafted and will be posted as soon as they are ready. Select "Accommodations", 7th from the bottom of the menu on the left side of the website's pages, for more information, including the exact campsite numbers reserved for the ICS at Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
