There is a mandatory $150 activity fee for the Summer Course. While some activities are covered in this fee, there are additional costs for some outings. Students may sign up and pay for a pre-planned package of activities at the same time that enrollment forms are completed in the spring prior to the Summer Course.

All group outings are chaperoned by Student Life staff members. Private buses chartered by SAB are used for all group activities requiring transportation both in and out of Manhattan.
