| Sleeping | Each kid gets a bed or couch | Cramped — 2 beds for 4 kids |
| Fresh air / outdoors | Closer, backyard access | Further away, parking lot |
| Team bonding | House = natural gathering | Scattered across hotel rooms |
| Room cost | TBD (waiting on listings) | $800/room (4 kids per room = $200/kid) |
| Food cost | ~$30/kid (groceries) | ~$150+/kid (eating out 3 days) |
