Break Logistics

Transportation, lodging, and meals are the main amenities provided to participants. Each break varies on specific items provided depending on the needs of each individual experience; however, the main necessities will be provided!

Transportation is provided through driving in designated vehicles. Drivers will be alternated throughout the break. Lodging varies for each break (e.g. Airbnb, camping, hostels, etc.)

Alongside full-week breaks, we offer weekend breaks that are 2-3 days long and 5-day breaks. These would be great options if you are unable to commit to a full-week long break!

Please refer to this sample packing list below! Some breaks may require additional items (i.e. personal camping supplies). Your leadership team will provide you with a specific packing list for your break.
