Dear AP/IB Biology Parent:

The trip is scheduled to take place from February 8th-11th (Thursday 11pm – Sunday~ 10:30pm).

Total cost for the trip will be approximately $400.00. This cost covers charter bus transportation to and from Long Beach, charter boat to and from the camp, room & board at the Institute, and a $5 fee for night snorkeling. The only items not covered are souvenirs and a breakfast for the initial trip to California, dinner Sunday night, and any other purchases as we stop to eat en route. A deposit of __$100 is due no later than September 26 th to reserve a spot on the trip. This money is non- refundable should your child not be able to attend the camp. It can be paid as cash, check made payable to CHS, or tax credit. Tax credit donations this year have increased to $400. Receipts will be given to confirm payment if paid at the bookstore. If you pay tax credit electronically, you will need to print a copy unless you pay through the portal. A copy of all receipts must be given to Mrs. Bond.
