Housing
Students
High school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates are invited to stay in the WCBC dorms on a first-come, first serve basis. If you would like to share a room with a friend, you may request to do so during registration; and we will do our best to accommodate you. At this point of registration, our on campus housing is currently all booked up for delegates.
Chaperones
Unfortunately, our policies and limited capacity don't allow for non-prospective students to stay in our dorms. The good news is that these three hotels have offered a special discount to our West Coast Up Close guests. “West Coast Baptist College” is the magic phrase that will get you our exclusive rate.
Airport Transportation
Many of our guests fly across the country to join us for this special event. If you're one of them, we’ll be glad to pick you up at the airport and take you back when you're headed home. Best of all, we won't charge you a penny. All you need to do is give us your flight info and register here.
Airport transportation is available to and from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR). Due to distance and other limitations, we will not be able to provide transportation to or from Ontario International Airport (ONT), John Wayne Airport (SNA), or Long Beach Airport (LGB).
