Lodging for the Holtan Reunion July 4-7, 2026: Information as of 1-25-26
We hope this information helps you find a good place to stay in the Forest City area.
Waldorf University has suite-style dormitory rooms, just minutes from our reunion venue, with the bathroom in the suite, for $45/room/night, two twin beds, but you must bring your own towels and sheets. Waldorf has even said you can put extra people, kids especially, on pads on the floor. The housing can be available anytime between Thursday night, July 2 Through Tuesday night, July 7.
Register with [email protected] for the reunion and if you’re sure about housing and the number of days, send a check or a Venmo. You can use this registration form to register for the reunion and for housing at Waldorf. We’ll keep you up to date as we get closer to the time, and will have a place and time each day to check in, and if the time doesn’t work, we’ll help you contact the on-call Residence Assistant for the key and check-in. Breakfast is available in the Dining Service. We guarantee there will be enough rooms since Waldorf has a whole dormitory available.
