SOUTH AFRICA FOR ADULTS IN THE SUMMER OF 2010!!
UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION BELOW (PAYMENT SCHEDULE & TOUR PROPOSAL AVAILABLE)!!
It seems that during every student tour, the adult staff ponder the idea of traveling without the responsibility of chaperoning the students and doing all the work involved with performing. Just a relaxing time among friends!!
We are now making this dream a reality with a trip to South Africa from June 16-28, 2010. We will be visiting cities such as Johannesburg (and the Kruger National Park-Safari style!), Port Elizabeth on South Africa’s South-Eastern Coast (with a day spent at the Addo Elephant National Park, home to over 200 Elephants!), ride ostriches, travel the Garden Route to Oudtshoorn, visit Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years, visit the Cango Wildlife Ranch and Caves and visit Capetown (with a penguin refuge!).
Anyone 18 years or older and that has graduated by June of 2010 is invited. This includes past Shores Choir Trip staff, students and friends of the choir!
DEADLINE SET!! WE ARE REQUESTING THAT PARTICIPANTS START MAKING PAYMENTS BY APRIL 1ST (at the latest) IN REGARD TO THIS TRIP (A $100 deposit is due in January, with $225 payments due in both February and March.
