Report Out
Laura

• Shuttle - There are three shuttles which run on the rim of the canyon. We are still trying to work out shuttles from the airport to the rim, but right now, it appears to be an expense of about $50 per person.
• School Contacts - Still have not found a school, public or private that has ever done this before. Contacts have been made with schools in the area, medical organizations and groups that lead hikes into the canyon.
• Campsites - At this point, it appears we are limited to one back country site per day per trip. The largest site is for 11campers.
• Fee Waivers - Educational waivers can be obtained. Park entrance fees are waived
• Getting the word out - Meeting attendance is low due previous commitments for some parents. Announcements were in all school newspapers and parent letters home. Attendance was much better this month
