Certain trips are incorporated with religous groups, but trip participants are not required to participate in any of that group's religious activities. International trips will fly if needed. All participants are asked to drive, but no one is forced. Most accommodations are provided by the host site or determined by the trip leaders. Previous trips have stayed in hostels, churches, cabins, tents, or in the actual service organization center.
Some sites provide meals, either for free or at a low-cost.
Other trips have to buy and prepare all of their meals. First, check out our leader page for information on leader repsonsibilities, deadlines, etc. If you are looking for ideas for potential sites, check out the Break Away sitebank for hundreds of site listings, plus the Break Away home page , for essential information on how to plan and organize a successful Alternative Break trip. International trips depend on the initiative of the student leaders. Sign-ups for this year's Alternative Spring Break Trips will begin Friday, December 1 at 8am in the Office of Community Service Programs in the Russell House.
