4-H and university centers for large groups

4-H and university centers were built to feed and house groups, and many rent to outside groups when their own programs aren't running.

How these work

Ask which weeks are open to outside groups. Summer often goes to the center's own camps.
Dining halls usually work on set menus and set times.
Expect bunk-style rooms, and ask about adult rooms for chaperones.

The largest stated capacity in this group is 600, at UTC Summer Guest Housing (University of Tennessee at Chattanooga).
