| COSTS: |
Northern Lights is fortunate to have some funding provided specifically for
International travel this year. This is going to allow the players to have very
low costs for these trips.
The 18's trip would replace one of the Qualifiers they are scheduled to attend.
There would be no additional fees added.
The 16/17's trip would cost each player airfare to Europe in the summer which
last year was about $1400. Northern Lights will cover any additional ground
cost (hotels, bus, meals, sight-seeing). |

Parents are permitted to travel with the team. The cost for a parent
traveling with the 18's trip is unknown, but last year was about $800 for the
ground portion. The cost for a parent traveling with the 16/17's team is
