Can I bring my Gameboy, walkman, books or other personal items?
Yes, personal games, toys, books or headphones are good for the ride to our destination. The Trip Leaders will let you know when these items need to be put away. You are responsible if your stuff gets lost, damaged, or stolen so think about what you want to bring along and what you want to keep at home.

What if I don't know anybody?
You will get a chance to meet a new group of friends to enjoy your adventure with. You could also invite a friend to sign up for the same trip you are going on.

Can I bring snacks or candy?
Yes, you can bring some snacks or candy along if you would like. We ask that you bring enough to share with the rest of the group (a max. of 10 other kids will be on the trip). We also ask that you tell the Trip Leaders about your snack so they can pick a good time for you to share it with everyone.

Who are the Trip Coordinators?
The Trip Leaders are people who have worked with kids for a long time and who know about our great destinations. Their jobs are to make sure that you are safe and having the time of your life! Find out more in the Trip Coordinators section of the web site.

What time do we have to go to sleep at night?
On programs that include overnight stays the Youth Coordinator will determine a time to end structured activities. It depends on the age of the group and what is happening the next day. The Youth Coordinators want to make sure you are safe and healthy and that you have enough rest for all of the activity and fun of the next day.
