March 5th Meeting Recap: flights, trip dates, paperwork, cancellation policy
On Wednesday night we decided that our trip dates will be 8/13-8/21.
We decided that flying out of Boston to save $100 per person is what we want to do, however this will mean that we would have to pay for transportation to and from the airport. When I looked last, the flight cost to depart and return to Boston was around $580.
See the previous post for the payment schedule.
Cancellation policy: Amped For Education's cancellation policy will be that if a traveler has already committed $850 or more by June 1st, that money can not be refunded. This would bring us 90 days before departure.
Paperwork: I need to collect this paperwork as soon as possible. I have extra copies in my room.
This blog is going to be the best informational resource moving forward. We are completing research on flights and will have that very soon. I will post it here.
As always, if you have any questions, let us know!

- Liability release form
- Emergency medical information and treatment consent form
- Photo release form
- Copy of Passport (If you don't have a passport, apply for one as soon as you can! They can take up to 8 weeks!)
- If you need or want a receipt for each check, I can provide that. If you'd like to wait until the entire trip is paid for before you get a receipt, I can provide that. This is the first time we have offered a receipt. We did not issue any last year.

2014 Payment Schedule
With deposits already collected, I want to create a payment schedule that will have the least amount of times that money will exchange hands. Also, I'd love to have all funds collected by the end of the school year because that seems like it would be the easiest way.
Here is the payment schedule for 2014:
Friday April 4th -- $500
Friday May 2nd -- $500
Friday June 6th -- $500 (or remaining balance, depending on flight costs)
If you'd like to set up a different pay schedule for yourself, please contact me and we can arrange it!
All checks should be made out to "Amped For Education".
