Frequently Asked Questions
Have other questions? If you still don’t find your answer, feel free to contact us directly.
Can I bring a friend or relative?
What if the course I want is waitlisting?
If the course you want is waitlisting, that means it is currently full. You should go ahead and waitlist for that course. You can also sign up for a different course within your age group. However, waitlisting will let us know that you are interested, and it will cue us to try to add a course, or find another way to get you on a trip.
Where do students go on their trips?
Yes, just make sure to include that information as you fill out your med form prior to your trip. We can accommodate most food allergies. Our packed trip food is produced in a facility that also packages tree nuts. However, this can typically be sorted through depending on the allergy. If you have questions about this prior to registering for a trip, just ask!
How do I register?
Just click the button below! It will take you to our registration page where you make an account, select the trip you are signing yourself or your child up for and walk through the guided process until you’re finished and can click submit! It usually takes no more than 10 minutes.
