EXPO 2026 Housing Info

This year, EXPO is headed to a college campus—and that means students, leaders, and chaperones get to experience the full EXPO adventure together, all in one place!

Registered students and approved chaperones will be housed in suite-style dorms on the beautiful campus of Jessup University in Rocklin, CA. Each suite includes shared bedrooms and a common space, offering a safe, comfortable, and community-focused environment throughout the week.

EXPO Housing is available for Students (ages 12–18) registered for EXPO, Chaperones who have completed all requirements, CYT Branch Leadership, and National Staff & Volunteers.

Please note: Housing is only available for official participants. Parents, spectators, and guests not serving as chaperones will need to secure off-campus accommodations.

Roommate Assignments

At EXPO 2026, students and chaperones will stay in pod-style dorms at Jessup University. Each pod includes multiple rooms connected by shared common spaces—perfect for community, connection, and supervision.

Each CYT Branch will be assigned its pod (or multiple pods, depending on group size), so students will room with others from their home Branch. Chaperones will be housed within or directly adjacent to their assigned student pod to ensure the safety and support of all students.

Roommate requests may be submitted during registration and will be taken into consideration, but CYT National will handle final housing assignments in coordination with Branch Leaders.

It’s all part of making EXPO feel like home—for one unforgettable week!
