 This trip is still on the books. However, it is looking more and more like it will have to be rescheduled.  I am in contact with our travel coordinator and she will let me know as soon as she knows for sure. I am tentatively considering moving the trip into August if it is required. Please contact me at the above email if you have questions or concerns.

As of 5/20/20 THIS TRIP HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL JUNE 2022.  Here is a note from Worldstrides.

"With all of this uncertainty the coronavirus has brought upon us, we have decided it’s in everyone’s best interest to postpone our Florida Science travel experience until June of 2022. We are working together to fine-tune the details and get our dates locked in. I will let you know as soon as I find out what those are and I’m hoping you will still be able to join us! Prices will be honored so there will be no increases passed along to our registrants.

For any students who are unable to join on the new travel dates, WorldStrides will honor the Full Refund Program. Here’s the change. For those who did not purchase FRP, you will also get the opportunity to purchase the FRP and obtain a cash refund. 

If you wish to remain enrolled, nothing needs to be done on your end at this time. If the new dates do not work, you have until October 1st to make your decision and take advantage of the new refund policy. Families can expect to receive refunds 6-8 weeks after our original departure date if needing to cancel.  

The team at WorldStrides asked me to share their appreciation for your patience and understanding in these unprecedented times. We hope this change allows the organization to earn your trust going forward, as we continue to navigate this difficult time in our history together.”
