Important Information
A.E. Wright has a limited number of reserved spots for each trip.
All Honor Society trips are voluntary and funded entirely by parent contributions. Please review trip costs, descriptions, and parent/student meeting dates to plan ahead.
If more students apply than there are available spots, the school will work with the camps to increase capacity. If additional spots cannot be secured, a lottery will be held among students who met the application deadlines. A waitlist will also be maintained.
If a student must withdraw due to illness after a published deadline, refunds will be issued, minus non-refundable transportation and camp deposits.
