Summer Session
Duncan Housing Info

Due to Programs and Courses being held online this summer, there will be no housing.

Please note that private home accommodation is subject to availability and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Private Home

The cost for housing is now CAN $30 per night, per person.
If booking for the full 3 weeks, the intervening weekends must be included.
Children 12 and under are half price.

Bedding and towels will be provided. Where possible, students will have access to the kitchen to prepare their own breakfast with their own food. Lunch and dinner are provided at the school for a fee – see separate meals request form. Circumstances will vary: Some hosts will continue to stay at their houses and rent out a room or two, while others may be away during that time and rent their whole house to West Coast Institute participants. For the most part, bathrooms will be shared. Unless requested otherwise, each student will have his or her own bed. Our Housing Coordinator will try her utmost to secure a private room for everyone. Those who apply first are likely to get the best options (e.g. master bedrooms with ensuite), those who apply late in the process might have to share rooms. Fees are payable to West Coast Institute.

To book housing, please see the Booking Form below.
