This way we take the top people from the list when it comes to trips. Of course all members are aware of the list and what is on it on the first week of school. This takes any bias out of picking members to go on trips.
On our team, all traveling team members are required to pay their share of the travel costs. The team does not pay for the hotel or charter bus. The Mentors, students, and parents all pay travel fees.

Our Boosters will fundraise and help pay for those who are unable to travel for financial reasons and will pay their fees.

Our only limitation is academic and schedule conflict.
