Trip Information
The ARML competition involves an overnight trip, by bus, to State College,
PA. Adult chaperones for the trip will be provided by CJML.
The trip to Penn State will include a stop at Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, PA. Students may want to bring some spending money for this stop. When we arrive at Penn State, students will be responsible for buying their own dinner at one of the many restaurants in the adjacent town. They will then have the option of attending a few organized activities, such as a math lecture for high school students and a contest for the best performance of an original math song. The math competition starts early Saturday morning. Breakfast and lunch are provided. After an awards ceremony in the mid-afternoon, we will board the bus to depart. The bus will stop at a fast-food restaurant for dinner. Students will need money for meals on the way to and from Penn State. We will arrive back in Bridgewater on Saturday evening.
Penn State will house the students in dormitory rooms. Dorms will be supervised and all students must follow rules and procedures established by the coaches and ARML staff. These include curfew hours and appropriate behavior; infringement of either may be grounds for disqualification of a student and/or team. Ground rules will be fully discussed with students during practice sessions.
Departure: Friday, May 31, 2024 at 9:15 A.M., at the Bridgewater Municipal Lot [716 Garrettson Road, Bridgewater]

Return: Saturday, June 1, 2024, by about 9:30 p.m. Parents, your child will contact you by cell phone from the bus to give you an estimated time of arrival. Please meet your child promptly. The chaperones will wait until every student has left.
To Bring: Snacks for the bus, money (for 2 or 3 meals, Knoebels, souvenirs), pillow, blanket, towels, personal items. The pillow, blanket and towels are recommended because the dorm rooms do not include them.
