Attend Our Spring Orientation Meetings (Optional)
Our orientations are presentations meant to reduce the uncertainties that often accompany international travel.
There will be three meetings, all with differing instructions. They will include crucial information on trip safety, packing, law, forms, customs, and more.
All orientations are held at 7:00 PM at the Safety Harbor Community Center.
