Below is the information from our second team training meeting. Please note that at the end of the checklist is our flight information. Because there are 3 flights TO Nicaragua and 2 flights HOME from Nicaragua, people need to arrive at the Chapel at different times. Please make sure you understand exactly when you/your child needs to meet at Chapel for departure.
Also, if you would like a Word document of any of these forms/this information send to you, simply email Alexis at akincaid@wcchapel.org, and she will be happy to help.
