In order for a tour participants and/or family representative to begin participating in fundraising activities 50% of the trip deposit must be paid and partial application must be received along with that payment.
If you choose to begin participation in fundraising without completing the requirements associated with the deposit the earnings from participation will be held in the general fund until deposit requirements have been completed. Upon completion of deposit requirements fundraising earnings will be applied to your account to reduce the remaining balance.
If a student generates an overage of proceeds from fundraising, the overage amount will remain in the general fund in support of group activities while on the trip.
If a student decides to cancel their reservation on the tour once they have participated in fundraising activities the proceeds will remain in the general fund in support of group activities while on the trip.

Upon complete payment of the deposit Parent/Guardian's must commit to making payments that fits within their budget but are not reliant upon generation of proceeds from fundraising activities. The balance owing must be paid in full by December 21, 2013.
