Missed the meeting? No problem. Please register for our second-chance info session to be considered for our upcoming travel opportunity.
In our session, we'll cover everything from how this will benefit your child, what's included in the experience, how we'll keep the trip safe and affordable, and much more. Plus, if we haven't met yet, it's a good chance to learn more about the chaperone as both an educator and a Group Leader.
Registration for this session is mandatory to help organize our meeting, and a parent or guardian must attend. Can't make it? Choose "No, but send info" so you don't miss out.
