Hall

A hall is a set of dorm rooms under the direction of an RA. The dorms are normally positioned such that there is a hallway to access them...which is very sensible. Sometimes, a single hallway is shared by two separate halls.

Hall Meeting

Every hall at CTY has a mandatory hall meeting around 9:50, after Quad Time or Meet Market, but before Lights Out. The RAs will go over administrative announcements and, sometimes, news headlines. Some RAs will ask the students about their day. The lenth of a hall meeting varies, but they can be finished vary quickly...if everyone pays attention. Hall problems and activites such as Hall Bonding may also be discussed.

Aditional meetings are held on the first day of camp and before Hall Bonding.

Hall Bonding

Hall Bonding is referred to normally as "Hall Bondage," because "it's bound to be fun 'cause it's fun to be bound."

Hall Bonding is a Sunday activity that typically occurs during the afternoon. During Hall Bondage, students go along with their RAs for some quality hall fun. Activities include watching movies, going to the local market/convenience store, going into town, water balloon fights, even absolutely nothing if that's what the hall wants.

Sleepovers

Sleepovers can occur on Friday and Saturday nights, at the discresion of RAs. Basically, everybody in a hall piles their fans and mattresses into one (or two) room(s).

Sometimes, sleepovers only occur on one night because the RA has night patrol duties. RAs are also known to prohibit sleepovers if they get too loud. All normal lights out rules must be followed.

Illegal Sleepovers

Sleepovers that occur on non-Friday/Saturday nights are illegal. They may result in punitive measures if the RA finds out, such as earlier lights out, no more sleepovers, sending people to the main office, missing a dance, etc.

Technically, on the last calendar Thursday (CTY LAN Friday) of the session, sleepovers are illegal. However, on this day, many RAs put on headphones and listen to loud music for an hour without checking the hall. Basically, it depends on the RA, although not officially.

Hall Hopping

Hall hopping involves having a sleepover in another hall. This is very illegal, and will definitely call for strict punishments.
