| Kids school (SJC) is going to Corolla. What have others done in the past in terms of the rental agreement among the parents, who signs and what is the best way to share the responsibility equally? Is a parent/ chaperone required to be on site? |
| Madness., |
| Not on my watch. |
Surely there is someone in your kid’s grade who had an older sibling and their parents can tell you what’s been done. |
|
Yes parent who signs must me on site. Esp in Corolla. Or they kick you out and keep your money. One parent signs and collects money from the others. Parent asks kid to sign contract on how to behave.
It so very common for multiple parents to be on site for the Corolla beach week. I will be there. |
| Parent who signs carries all the liability. Did you get suckered in? |
| What is it? |
It is 2025 you are ridiculous. |
| SSSA usually goes to the Dominican Republic Corolla sounds fun! |
I’m wondering too is it a vacation? Cleanup? What? |
I’m completely out of the loop can someone explain all of this |
Do different SSSAS groups head to different places? DC’s friend’s sibling graduated last year and went to Corolla |
Oh you sweet summer child. You must be new here. And by “here” I mean to the US education system, as this is not exclusive to private schools or to the DC area. It’s the senior beach trip after vacation. Towns in the Outer Banks have literally changed laws as a result of the mayhem caused. |

Why do the DMV schools keep going to Corolla? The leases literally all say "By signing this I agree to not bring a group of unrelated high school or college students" and then the rental agencies spend the week watching the houses for any signs of a teen group or party so they can jump in and kick everyone out.
There are about a zillion other beaches that don't have an issue with teens. I'm not sure why Corolla becomes the destination every year. It makes zero sense. |
| Beach week is a thing for DC area schools and has been since at least the early 1980s (probably before that). It tends to be a week or two after graduation. Back in the 80's everyone went to the Maryland and Delaware beaches but when they started locking down on kids being there without parents there was a switch to the Outer Banks. Those towns/rental companies got wise to the nonsense pretty quickly and now have very strict rental agreements. It's all bananas. |
