Is it true that students may only bring a carry-on?
Yes, carry-on luggage only! We only have a short time to spend in the city, it is our hope to spend as little time in the airport as possible. It is for this reason we allow only for carry-on luggage.
Should my child bring cash or a credit/debit card?
It is recommended that your child brings cash; however, if you send your child with a credit/debit card that is acceptable. Please know that some places will ONLY accept cash, (Food trucks, etc) and other places require the cardholder to be over the age of 18. (Foot Locker).

This is the first experience we offer our students the opportunity to travel without their parents. It is our goal to give the students a travel experience that helps prepare them for their next step of independence...high school!
How much money should my child bring on the trip?
We do allow time for the students to make purchases. Generally, we recommend anywhere from $150-$300 dollars to spend on the trip.
