To keep this trip affordable, families and volunteers manage all travel, meals, and lodging directly. Chaperones cover their own expenses, so fundraising can go entirely toward student participation and sending our teacher.

Estimated cost per student:

Airfare: $544
Hotel (5 nights): $350
Lunches for the week: $120
Dinners: $175
Metro pass: $58
Local transportation: $150
Museum entries and educational activities: $80
Tour guide, bus, monument tour: $289.70

Total: $1,767

Teacher cost (required for the trip): $2,477

When we include the teacher’s trip and divide that cost across our 10 students, the total needed per student comes to approximately $2,014. We have set our fundraising goal at $22,000 to cover any further increases we may experience, as we are still in the process of booking reservations. 

Every donation directly supports these students and ensures that cost is never a barrier to this remarkable educational experience.
