These forms contain important information about the program activities and associated risks, as well as your and TRIP MEMBER’S responsibilities. Please read these forms carefully and complete and sign as required. TRIP MEMBER’S final acceptance to the program is contingent upon Egida’s receipt and review of all forms.
Group composition, Travel arrangements and Rules. Minimum group sizes are listed and Egida cannot guarantee the group composition including maximum size, balanced male-female ratios or whether travelers join independently or with friends. I authorize Egida and its representatives to make arrangements, accommodations, rules and regulations they may deem advisable, in their discretion, for the well being and welfare of all TRIP MEMBERS. TRIP MEMBERS are expected to comply with all Egida rules and regulations.
Tuition and Terms of Payment. Terms of payment are as described above. Please see the brochure or website trip description for details and total trip costs. Payment covers the cost of lodging, meals as indicated, ground transportation, group activities, and internal flights where indicated (flights other than to the trip starting point & from the ending point). Tuition is based on costs including fuel & foreign exchange rates as of September 1st, 2019. Although we do not expect to change our published fees, we reserve the right to do so in the event of increased costs, including, but not limited to increased fuel costs and/or currency exchange rates.
Additional Costs. I understand that Egida does not engage personnel qualified to provide medical, dental, health or other similar care or services to TRIP MEMBER. Therefore, I agree to pay all costs and expenses incurred directly or indirectly by Egida for this care or other expenses incurred for the well being of the TRIP MEMBER.
Program Acceptance. Egida serves teens from all over the U.S. and other countries. Egida does not discriminate in their admissions policies on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age or disability.

I agree to inform Egida in writing, before or in conjunction with this Application, of my child’s current or past history of counselling and/or psychological or similar therapy for behaviour issues or behaviour modification. I understand that I have a continuing obligation to inform Egida in writing of any new instance of counselling or therapy occurring after Egida’s receipt of this Application, but before program departure. Egida reserves the right to refuse admission to programs, in appropriate cases and any such refusal or removal of a TRIP MEMBER for conditions that were not or insufficiently disclosed will be without refund.
Permission. I authorize Egida and its representatives to take and/or use my or my child’s photo, video recording or testimonial in any manner it desires, for advertising, display, publicity or other use without compensation.
