At Perform America, we work to provide the best possible value for every group. Our trips utilize a group-structured pricing model, meaning package pricing is based on the final number of travelers participating in the trip.

Your group's director or group leader has been provided with and has approved the group's pricing structure prior to registration opening. The final package price will be determined once registration closes and the group's final traveler count has been confirmed, in accordance with the established pricing structure for your trip.
We encourage families to register early and help promote the trip, as larger groups generally provide the best overall value for everyone. If you have any questions regarding your group's pricing, please contact your group leader or Perform America.
