The "FINE PRINT"
The "FINE PRINT"
- We reserve the right to modify any or all part of the trip based on the needs of the group and availability of events. If after the collection of deposits, it is financially unwise for us to take this trip, we also reserve the right to change the location of the trip's destination.
- The initial deposit guarantees your spot on the trip and allows us to place a deposit on airfare. If you cancel out of the trip after July 1 but before the first payment is due, you will lose a portion of the deposit (equal to whatever was paid to the airline.)
- Cancellations after the first payment is due in mid-September will be prorated based on the payment schedule set by our travel company. This will be posted here after deposits are collected.
- Seniors: this trip will happen during the senior internship experience offered by the HS. You should know this in advance before signing up for an internship prior to graduation.
