Singapore American Independently Organized NYAA Silver Trip (June 2017)

Communication with this group has given us the following insights about the program:

1. The main objective of the program is to complete the Adventurous Journey piece of the NYAA at the Silver level. 


2. The NYAA Silver Award trip will run on March 2-5, 2017. It will include two nights of camping, one and a half days of hiking, and one day of rock climbing and rappelling.


3. For the trekking portions of the Adventurous Journeys, students will be using topographic maps and compasses to lead the navigation, with the adults following. They can be on a trail, but there should be limited if any signage or other directional information. They will not be allowed to use any electronic means of navigation. 


4. For the other Adventurous Journey activities, the participants will actively participate in planning and training for their expedition. The goal is to provide participants with the opportunity to learn more about the wider environment, as well as to develop their self-confidence, teamwork, and health. 

Payment & Cancellation Policy: 

Given the fact that this program starts next week and we've already started incurring costs, we require payment in full as soon as possible. 20% of the overall cost of the program will remain nonrefundable, but if another emergency arises and we need to reschedule, we can transfer the majority of the balance over to a new set of dates.
