A: When there is a trip coming out we will post about it on our social media, as well as send out an email with all the details you need. Check those socials and feel free to ask committee about potential plans!
Q: How do I sign up for a trip?
A: Trip sign ups are done by the first to pay either the full amount of the trip or the deposit (specified for each trip basis). In the email sent out with details about the trip, there will be details about the signup date and time, too (eg Sunday at 3pm) which is when you will transfer the club the amount needed, as well as receive an email with a signup form to fill out. Our trips are fist come first serve and we've had 60 person trips sell out in under 30 seconds before! Good luck!
Q: How do I sign up for a day trip?
A: Day trips are done slightly differently as they are not done on a first come first-served basis - it is done based on priority and if you have already been on a trip or not. To sign up there will be an email sent out to your Student email with a form to fill out, and you'll find out if you got a spot two or three days later.
