However, we sometimes must add children to a group from other schools. We do this to best accommodate children and chaperones on their buses and in their hotels. This has worked very well for almost 44 years and has been the beginning of friendships with children from different schools. All children from each school stay together in the same hotel. We do not put part of the children from a school in one hotel, and part in another.
Chaperones room together near their assigned children.
In some cases, because of hotel layouts, chaperone rooms are farther from their children than would ordinarily be the case. We work with the hotels to correct that problem when it occurs. Chaperones designate a room captain for each of their groups. The room captain gets a safety patrol captain's pin to wear and has responsibility for his or her group's room key. Buses Groups of safeties ride together on buses with their chaperones.
