Do you need Chaperones?

YES! We will not be able to go on the trip without additional supervision. Currently we are looking for 9 individuals.

My student has a season pass to the San Diego Zoo – can s/he use it?

Unfortunately no, due to the type of tickets required for the group.

Does my student have to ride on the bus?

Yes, due to insurance liabilities for the trip all students should travel together. However, if you have special circumstances please ask us.

Dietary Restrictions

Buffet breakfast is provided at the hotel – all lunches are mostly on own. Dinners are in restaurants with choices. Please let us know of severe restrictions and we will try to accommodate as appropriate.

I can’t chaperone, but I may like to tag along (or bring family). Can I participate in activities?

Possibly – we may have access to extra show tickets and venues. However, you would need to provide your own hotel & transportation for additional family members. Contact Harshetha or Cheryl.
