Where, When, How Much and more.

Facilities

Whitman College is located in Walla Walla, in the heart of Washington's wine country, and offers complete and excellent air conditioned facilities. The Retreat will rehearse and perform in Cordiner Hall, the brand new Hall of Music, Chism Recital Hall, and in various academic buildings on the compact campus. The campus is a beautifully landscaped, shaded, classic brick college with a stream running through it.

Dormitory housing is no more than a block away from all planned activities, and consists of semi-private suites: two people share a main door, but have their own rooms. Housing includes bedding, linens and towels. Meals are served cafeteria style in the Dining Hall adjoining the dormitory and include vegetarian and other dietary needs options.
