[quote=Anonymous]Where did the OP say this is a school trip? She just said she is chaperoning a group of boys. She wouldn't ask if it was a school trip because they pick the groups, they set up meet-up areas, decide the rules, etc...

I take my kids and their friends up to Hershey Park for each of their summer birthdays. There are 7 of them in my van. I hang with the non birthday kid and the birthday group goes off on their own. Ages 14 and 12 but we have been doing this for 3 years twice a summer.

OP, I put my cell # on slips of paper to put in their socks/sneakers if they don't have their own cell. If they get separated,  they ask an employee or a mom to borrow a phone to call me. My only rule is they all stay together. We meet up for lunch at the Mixed Grill at 1pm  (it has a/c) and then again at the water park at 4pm. I hang there with their stuff so they can swim. Then we eat dinner at Nathan's around 6pm while drying off. Then we meet at Founder's Circle at 9pm. They finish off a few rides there, get kettle corn for the ride home and we are done.

We have never had an issue. The kids do great. I am always hanging out with the non-birthday kid though so I have a playmate to go on rides with.  [/quote]
