Accommodations and Campus Information
The New Wilmington Mission Conference is held on the Campus of Westminster College. The college is tucked into the rolling hills of Western PA offering beautiful views and scenery. Participants live in the dorms, and meet in various locations around the campus. There is a good deal of walking between meeting locations, including some hills. The dorms are considered comfortable but basic. There are no linens or toiletries provided, and so attendees should plan to bring these items.
For those for whom dorm-living presents a challenge, several local hotels are offering discounted rates. More information is available here, as well as through the NWMC Office.
Dining
All
meals from dinner on the first Friday through dinner on the final Saturday of NWMC are offered cafeteria-style in the college dining rooms. There are many options to choose from, including main entrees, a salad
bar, and a cereal bar. A continental-style breakfast is offered on the
final Friday of the conference.
Your name tag is your ticket to each meal. Please be sure that you bring it with you.
Parents
of small children should plan to bring a portable clamp-on style high
chair or booster seat to be used in the dining halls. The college does
not have any high chairs available.
