How you will get here:
Your school district (or you)  will make plane or ferry arrangements, and you will be picked up by a Holland America/Princess van.

Your teachers or SERRC chaperones will also stay there. Check out the hostel at www.juneauhostel.net.

About food:
AAll meals will be provided for you beginning Sunday evening and ending with Friday lunch. If you arrive before Sunday evening or stay after Friday lunch, meals are your responsibility. You should bring extra money for special snacks if you like.
