STEP SEVEN: Clue in your Parents.

It is always important to include your family in the decision-making process. Why the seventh step and not the first? We suggest getting your facts in line prior to engaging them so you can better answer any questions they have. Encourage parents to contact us with any questions not covered on the website. The 2012/2013 Media Guide is also a helpful publication that can keep your parents informed and "in the know".

STEP TEN: Get creative.

In addition, there are additional fundraising options so get Google on your side and do your due diligence to earn some money towards your trip. You can do anything from a car wash and mowin' lawns to running your own camp or clinic. The possibilities are endless so get creative and make it happen, because you CAN! See Financing Your Trip.
