Our senior class is only 16 people. We have 5, possibly 6 days at the end of May/beginning of June to have a class trip. Our guidelines are that it has to be within the continental US, and approximately $600 per person. We’re not supposed to go over that amount, but a bit over is okay. Most of us were thinking somewhere warm and tropical/beachy, such as the Florida Keys or San Diego, or somewhere like San Francisco. We are supposed to have an educational component to the trip, like not just lying on the beach all day…and a service component is also encouraged, although not required. Are there any ideas? We are from the NYC area.
