Cost for SUUSI

See the table below for a complete description of pricing, but in short, adults staying 2 to a dorm room and registering by the early bird deadline (May 15) will be $975 per person for the week (6 nights). For an adult staying in a dorm room by themselves, the cost is $1050 for the week. This includes lodging, food and many free activities for the week. 

The cost of SUUSI 2025 will nearly the same as in 2024--While SUUSI had run a deficit for 2020-2023, the good news is that the significant increase in registration cost for 2024 resulted in SUUSI making a small surplus to make up partially for the 3 years of deficit.

There will be a small increase in the cost per bed since the cost charged by our host has increased by 10%, but that is being offset by a small decrease in registration plus meals for adults and teens (even though there is a 7% increase in the cost of meals since 2024) with the hope that other cost-saving measures will make up for that. So the cost for children (0-13) staying on the floor will be the same as in 2024, but for children staying in a bed the price will incease by $20 for the week. The other difference is that the additonal cost of a single-occupancy room that has been charged by our host ($75 for the week) will be added to the price of registration for those requesting a single room (see below). 

What is Covered by SUUSI Fees?

The basic SUUSI registration fee includes meals as well as all free SUUSI activities (including, but not limited to, Worship, Community Time, Nightlife  activities, and age-related programs for Youth, Middlers, Teens and Young Adults).

Housing costs are additional. A bed in a double-occupancy room (where two people are each paying for a bed) is $255/bed (the cost we are charge by our host). Single occupancy in a dorm room can be requested, but there are a limited number of single rooms available to us. This year a bed in a single-occupancy room is $330; the additional $75 that our host charges for single occupancy will be added to the cost of your registration. Note that staff credit does not cover this additional $75 fee. If you request a single room and you are able to be assigned to one, you may get a room with one bed and a shared bathroom or a room with two beds and a private bathroom (for the same price). If you request a single room and one cannot be assigned to you, you will be contacted by registration staff. If you need a single occupancy room for medical reasons and wish to request a waiver of the additional $75 fee, contact the SUUSI Registrar at registration@suusi.org.

Children age 0-13 are allowed to sleep on the floor (up to a maximum of four people per room) continue to be housed for free (so they are only charged for registration a meals).

Discounts, Staff Credits, and Financial Assistance

We are pleased to be able to offer a $50 early registration discount if you register by May 15.  Registering early will help SUUSI tremendously due to Radford's need for an early count and a 50% required deposit from SUUSI by May 1.

SUUSI staff and workshop leaders receive credits that can be used against housing and meals - you can apply on SOLIS. If you will be receiving staff credit, be aware that you may only use that credit to pay for housing and meals for the person to whom the credit was issued.

Financial assistance grants called SUUSIships are available to help persons with financial need to attend. Find out more about applying for a SUUSIship here.
