Students interested in going to Kenya in the summer of 2014: Please see the attached Application Form and complete it by January 20, 2014.

Some specifics:

The program will be a month long in August 2014 and in Nairobi;

1)      The flight will be around $2500 if you book early. It is prime safari time so the most expensive time of the year;

2)      Lodging is in a basic but safe and central place and is about $55/night for a single room and that includes breakfast. Double rooms are available and cost around $35 each night;

3)      Spending is around $600 but depends on the student;

4)      We expect $1,000 from each student to contribute to materials and supplies and other direct costs. You can fundraise as much as much as you want to cover this cost, and others, on your own. One student last year raised $5500 on his own so it paid for his entire trip!

Total is approximately:  $2500 + $1500 +$600 + $1000 = $5600.  Safaris are extra and can go from $500 for a four day trip to $4000 depending upon how swanky you want to be and how rich you are!
