TRIP DESK

The Trip Desk is available Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays from 10:00AM - 12:00PM.

Outside those hours, please see the Front Desk for assistance.

DAY TRIP PAYMENTS

Payment for day trips can be made in full or installments; $50 is due at sign-up.

The balance due date is shown with each trip (it’s about four weeks before the trip). Failure to pay by this date may result in cancellation of your reservation.

TRIP CANCELLATION

BY THE CENTER

Our trips require a minimum number of participants to
ensure they’ll go. If we don’t meet the minimum, we’ll cancel the trip and refund all monies to the registrants. We will give you as much advance notice as possible. To avoid trip cancellations, please sign up early so we meet the minimum.

OVERNIGHT TRIP PAYMENTS

A $200 deposit is required when signing up for an overnight trip.

Installments can be made at your convenience; the balance due date is shown with each trip (it’s about six weeks before the trip).

REFUNDS

Since hotels, restaurants and tour companies require nonrefundable deposits from us, we have the following refund policy:

• If you cancel a trip prior to the final payment due date, you will receive a full refund.
  
• If you cancel after the final payment due date, you are responsible for finding a replacement to receive a refund.

PAYMENTS

Payments for trips are via check, cash or money order.
Credit card payments are not accepted at this time.

SIGN UP

Stop by the Trip Desk at the Center or send a check to the Center with this info:

• Name, Address, Phone Number (Home & Cell), Email Address

BUS SEATING

Boarding will begin 15 minutes prior to departure time.

Names are called in the order of registration.
If you are not present when your name is called,
check-in with the escort before boarding the bus.

There aren’t assigned seats. If travelling with someone, please share a row and if there are empty seats after everyone boards, you can change seats.

NOTE: Effective 2026, solo travelers will be required to share the adjoining seat on the bus with another solo traveler.

Pricing for all trips is based on one seat on the coach.

TRIP INSURANCE

We recommend trip insurance, particularly for overnight trips.

It provides you with peace of mind for unforeseen situations.

It can be purchased through AAA, your credit card company or online.

If you buy trip insurance within two weeks of your trip deposit, you are typically covered for pre-existing conditions.

PARKING

Please park in our parking lot furthest from the building so that participants have access to the Center.

If your trip is on a Monday (or an overnight trip that includes a Monday), please carpool if possible; Mondays are our busiest day with programs and activities and the parking lot fills up.

GRATUITIES

Gratuities for the driver are included in the total price for both day and overnight trips.

When applicable, step-on-guide gratuities are also included in trip fees.


Gratuities for meal servers are at your discretion.

ESCORTS

All of our trips are escorted by one of our Trip Committee members.

HEALTH CONCERNS

If you feel ill leading up to a trip, please ask someone to take your place or kindly wear a mask. Let’s keep everyone healthy.
