How much does it cost?
- The fee to participate is 50.00 which covers a tshirt, extra activities, etc. Later in the fall, we are planning a trip to Cedar Point which would add an additional 100.00. This trip is optional and the 100.00 is only if you decide to travel to Cedar Point with us in the fall
