The sign-up for each trip will be available after one trip is completed. Please check back on our website for updated information on when each sign-up becomes available.
May I take my own transportation there? May I go with you there and come back on my own?
No. Since you are attending a UCI affiliated program, you must arrive and return with the provided transportation.
