Pre-trip Plans:
Moving out of campus and departing for the CSGC trips is always a team effort, and for this to be a smooth and successful departure process, we are reaching out to families and students with reminders on how to “finish strong” and go on the summer travel programs without leaving behind more work for others!
On May 27th, students will meet Trip leaders in front of the MSB on the Deerfield Academy Campus at 3:00PM where they will then travel together as a group via bus to the Logan International Airport in Boston, MA (BOS) and depart on their flight to Italy at 9:40PM.
Post-trip Plans:
Please note that this trip ends on June 14th at the Logan International Airport (BOS), with an estimated time of arrival at 3:25PM. Families should plan for this accordingly and as you see in the form, there are a few options:
• The student’s family or friend of the family can pick them up at the airport.
• The student can fly to another city to meet their family or friend of the family.
If you decide on the final option, it is important to start planning for this now and ensure that students have enough time between when the group lands at BOS and when their next flight takes off. Things to consider are potential delays, customs and immigration, baggage claim, and possible terminal transfers. We recommend contacting the airlines directly to ensure appropriate layover times (taking into account the possibility of delays). If you have questions or require help with this process, please let us know.
The remaining balance of the program fee will be billed to your student account on December 11, 2024, and due in full by January 1, 2025.
