Winter Break will happen February 29th-March 8th. ALL service trip participants are required to pay a participation fee of $200 (leaders will pay $175) for Winter Break. Participants who withdraw from their trip within two weeks after trips have been set through the trip placement email may receive a full refund fee minus the $25 application fee. Participants who drop after the two week time frame will not receive a refund unless the reason includes illness or injury that prevents the participant from traveling or a documented family emergency. $25 of the fee will be charged to the participant’s student account upon application submission and will serve as a non-refundable application fee. The rest of the fee will be charged after the application deadline. All leaders must sign up for an interview time and be available for pre-trip weekly meetings with the executive team.
