Join us on a life changing trip to Senegal! We have taken groups of students to Senegal eight times, in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 and twice in 2023. Apply to travel with us on our 9th trip!!
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE
The trip this year will take place over MHS march break. this is different than our usual February trip to avoid scheduling at the same time as local elections in Senegal).
We are also collecting interest from adults for chaperones and other roles, click here to learn more.
We need to know who is going as soon as possible so that we can properly prepare and get everyone ready with supplies, vaccinations, information, etc. We travel by plane to Dakar and then by bus to Lambaye and other locations within Senegal. The trip last about 8 days and is an unforgettable and life changing experience for all.
Once the final group going on the trip has been confirmed, we will have multiple meetings with both parents and students to answer any and all questions.
The trip is estimated to cost about $4,250-4,750 per traveler. A deposit will be due November 1. We will have an exact figure once the number of students going is determined. We are aiming to take between 25 and 30 students but based on interest and other factors that could go up or down.
This trip is organized by Students for Senegal Inc. which works with third party travel agencies to plan the trip and make reservations. No other organization including the Mamaroneck Union Free School District or any of its schools is involved in the trip in any capacity.
