General FAQs

- Suggested hotel accommodations will be given to those interested in attending. They will be located in the neighboring town, White Plains, and they will be within walking distance of the train station. Unfortunately, we won't be able to accommodate teams to stay with local families this year.

- Depending on your stay and interest in exploring, we can provide suggestions for activities that teams can do. With quick access to New York City, there are countless things to do outside the required timelines!

-Teams will be responsible for hotel, food, travel, and other expenses throughout their trip.

Details will be provided to schools as dates get closer and we assess the interest of participating teams.
