Trip Information

Accommodations:

At the moment we are distributing families between 6 different homes. Families will be housed together. Each house will have a kitchen that everyone can share to make meals.

Food:

The first day of the trip we will go shopping for food, I would suggest families get enough so they can make there own meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We will have occasions where you will have the option to go out to restaurants to eat as well as times where we invite everyone to one of the homes for meals.
