It is time to make your case for your destination. The 8th grade trip has been approved for 2 days 3 nights. The final destination will depend on your ability to link educational value to the destination as well as the fun aspect of the trip.

You will be working in groups of four. The destinations are as follows:

· Williamsburg, Busch Gardens VA

· Dorney Park PA.

· Hershey Park PA.

· Six Flags New Jersey

Each student will select one destination. If you have any problems I will provide you with one. Using the resources it is your job to provide:

The cost per student for the trip

A total cost estimating a minimum of 150 students that will attend

The cost will include:

· Travel via charter bus

· 3 night stay at an area hotel

· Tickets to the park.

The cost should include any applicable sales tax, gratuity and surcharges. A budget of $100 dollars should be added for food.

You will write a short 1—2 page paper on the theme park’s history and how it could be used for education purposes.
