Departure location is dependent on numbers registered at each Park District. Every effort is made to leave for the trip from Park Place. Transportation may be in a park district van, mini-bus or motor coach. Motor coach trips are noted in the brochure. Cancellation policy: Refund will be given if the request falls before the cut-off date less the $5 service charge. If the refund request falls after the cut-off date, no refunds will be given unless a replacement is able to be found.
