When is Senior Week?

Senior Week, otherwise known as Beach Week, usually happens the week following a high school’s graduation, so Senior Week on an individual basis totally depends on the school district and its scheduling.

In Ocean City, the three or so weeks that tend to be overrun by the graduating classes tend to fall between the last week of May and the first two weeks of June.

Things to Do During Senior Week

Consider strolling the Boardwalk  and checking out all the sights, sounds, shops, and rides; getting wet and wild with a jet ski from Odyssea Watersports or the numerous rental companies in Ocean City; taking a trip to explore the serene beauty of Assateague, including its world-famous wild ponies; dancing the night away at H20- Ocean City’s only under-21 dance club; or just lounging on the beach while enjoying the freedom of graduation.

Bonfires are allowed on the beach, but you must first get a permit. Bonfires must be a minimum of 75 feet away from the dunes and only untreated, natural wood may be used in the bonfire. The bonfire permit only covers the singular date and location specified.  Additional locations or dates will require additional, separate permits. The person obtaining the permit must be present during the hours of the bonfire and be over 21.

hotel's rules

Follow the Rules to Have the Most Fun!

Some hotels welcome Seniors during Senior Week in Ocean City. Some, however, discourage anybody under 21 years of age from renting a room. Some properties require parental signatures and some require higher security deposits. Ocean City has been welcoming graduating seniors for decades and the Town is set up for a week of fun.  However, be sure you communicate and follow the rules laid out by your host hotel or vacation rental property. You could lose your room and your money if you violate the terms of your rental.

Grand Hotel and Spa

“We allow kids staying at our property, we just have a special policy for them.

Kids between 17-20 years old need to fill the under 21 form, which we email when the reservation is made. The form requires one of their parents’ IDs and a copy of their credit card. This request is for everybody who will stay in the room. Besides room+tax, we also require a $500 deposit refundable at check out.

Kids 17 years old and under need to stay with an adult (over 21 years old) in the room.”

Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel 

“We require registered guests to be 18 years of age and take a $500 refundable deposit once we inspect room upon checkout to ensure no damage done. ” 

Gateway Hotel & Suites

“All we require is one of the people be 18 yrs old and that the room is held with a credit card, even if they come in and split the room 4 ways with cash and debit cards…one will remain on file as the responsible party. I prefer to get a parent to put up this card because it makes the kids feel more responsible and more likely TO be able to put a charge on it if needed. We do charge for smoking in the room or for excessive cleaning (when the carpet needs to be cleaned etc).  We DO NOT take an extra deposit up front. Many places DO, in hopes of either making money off the guests or because it’s actually good to have a guarantee payment for violations.

Kids like this location because of the free breakfast and close to the boardwalk, rides, H2O and bus stop. We welcome them.”

Boardwalk Hotel Group

(includes Howard Johnson and Days Inn hotels)

“We do not require a parent signature, but everyone in the room must be at least 18 years old and show a valid ID upon check-in. We also require an Under 21 Contract be reviewed and signed by all staying in the room in addition to a $500 security deposit. The contract and security deposit must be mailed in 30 days prior to the arrival date. The $500 must be in the form of a check or money order. We will mail the guest a check after check-out given there are no damages to the room.”

OCROOMS.com
