There will be one 45 minute stop for lunch and bathrooms. Students will receive $20 to purchase food. Due to the unpredictability of available food and preparation assurances, we suggest folks with severe allergies or dietary needs bring a lunch with them on the bus. Please speak to your chaperone for more information.

There is a two hour window for arrival. When the buses are 45 minutes away, we will notify you. At this time, please call your parent/guardian and tell them to be at MHS at the communicated time for pickup.
