Wake Forest University has no responsibility for the conduct of any program or activity offered by The Performing Arts Project. Wake Forest functions only as a site for the conference/camp and will provide many of the services specified for the conference/camp such as facilities, food and housing. The University assumes no responsibility for any damage, injury or loss to any person or property, from any cause whatsoever except to the extent such liability results from the sole negligence of Wake Forest University.

Compass students are housed in air-conditioned dormitories on the campus of Wake Forest University. All students are required to live on campus. Adult chaperones live with students and conduct nightly room checks at curfew. They are also available to help students with their personal needs such as doctor visits. Students are assigned to a room with a roommate in their same age range. Dormitories have common areas as well as coin laundry rooms. Students are asked to bring their own linens, but may purchase a linen package from the dormitory if they so choose.

Students eat on campus in the Student Union at the Fresh Food Company dining hall. They are served three meals a day with food service provided by Aramark Food Service. The dining hall has ample selections and accommodate students with eating limitations including vegetarians, vegans, and those with food allergies to nuts, gluten, and lactose. Students may also choose to eat at some of the other food options on campus, such as the food court; however, these options are not covered in student tuition and require that the student pay the restaurant separately at the time of service.
