Residential Perks

Rogue Squad Night

One night a week, the schedule goes out the window. Small groups of campers pick where they want to go — and we take them there.

Your Night, Your Call

What Is Rogue Squad Night?

Most evenings, the whole group heads out together to a planned destination. But once a week, we flip the script. Small groups of campers get to decide where they want to go — somewhere that wasn't on the schedule, something they've been wanting to do, a neighborhood they want to explore.

Staff go with every group, so it's always safe and supervised. But the destination? That's up to the campers. It's one of the most talked-about nights of the week — because it's theirs.

"We went to this tiny record shop in the East Village that none of us had ever heard of. It was the best night of the whole week."

How It Works

The Night Is Yours

No competition, no agenda — just small groups of campers going wherever they want, with staff by their side.

Groups Form

Campers self-organize into small groups — friends they've made during the week, people who want to do the same thing.

They Pick the Spot

Each group decides where they want to go. A park, a neighborhood, a shop, a show — anything that wasn't already on the itinerary.

Staff Goes With Them

Every group has a staff member with them the whole night. The freedom is real — and so is the supervision.

Different Groups, Different Places

While one group hits a comedy club, another might be at a bookstore or a rooftop park. Everyone's night looks different.

The Stories Are the Best Part

When everyone reconvenes back at the dorm, the stories from each group's night are always the highlight of the week.

Residential Campers Only

Rogue Squad Night is an exclusive perk for residential campers — one of the many reasons sleepaway is worth it.
