The cost will be $80, which covers transportation and admission (water park included, so bring your swimsuit and towel!). Students are on their own for food and anything extra they want to buy. There will be a “brown bag” lunch option, for an additional $5; you can choose a lunch option on the registration form. We are also looking for some adults to come along as well, so contact Elise, (ehasche@oslchurch.com or 336-2942, ext. 35) if you want to come along!
