Questions from our Parent Meeting

What is the age group that can attend?
Rising 6th – 12th grade students & parent chaperones.

Can Praying Pelican provide meals for those with dietary restrictions?
Yes. When you register, please provide the dietary needs of the child and/or chaperone.

Are we bringing tools?
No, we will be buying them there and donating them at the end of the trip.

Is there a max number of people we can have on the trip?
No. We do have a required youth to chaperone ratio; as long as we have enough chaperones, we can take as many youth as possible!

Are additional chaperones needed?
Yes! We currently have 1 male and 1 female chaperone, we need at least one more of each. All chaperones are required to complete the Episcopal churches course on child safety and a background check.

Would the trip be the same price for the chaperones?
Yes the trip would be the same price for the chaperones. Please contact office@stmtts.org if you need assistance with payment, some chaperone fees may be covered.

Are scholarships available?
We never wants cost to be a reason a student misses out on any opportunity. Full and partial scholarships as well as alternate payment plans are available. Please contact Miriam at office@stmtts.org to discuss your options.

What if you need to fly out early or arrive late?
We want as many youth that would like to attend to join us. Please reach out to discuss what your unique situation is and we will come up with a plan together to accommodate your schedule.
