~ Frequently Asked Questions ~
How many students can you take?
There is room for 100 students. Registration is done on a first come, first served basis. A student is officially registered once they have turned in their behavior contract and waiver forms, picked up a registration packet, and officially registered on the Brightspark Travel website (with the required code provided in the registration packet).
What is the student to chaperone ratio and who are the chaperones?
The ratio of students to chaperones is approximately 10 to 1. I have a staff of veteran chaperones who have been doing this with me for a long time. They are comprised of teachers from our school and district, and some employees from other districts. For example, one of my regular chaperones is a good friend who is a health aide at a school in another district.
