Disney 2025 Big Trip Chaperone Application

Chaperone Application

GP Band Big Trip to DisneyLand - April 7-11, 2025
Due date for chaperone application: November 8, 2024
Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2024
Due date for $200 non-refundable deposit: November 22, 2024

Thank you for your interest in chaperoning the Glacier Peak Band Disney trip (April 7-11, 2025). Please complete all sections of this application thoroughly.

Note: Submission of application does not guarantee selection as a chaperone. Selection will be based on the needs of the group and the information provided in this application.

The chaperone’s primary duty is the supervision and coordination of student activities and behaviors. Chaperones ensure that the director’s instructions are understood and followed by student participants. Supervision is continuous and hands-on. Chaperones should make sure they interact with all students involved in the trip especially those students to whom they are directly assigned. Whenever possible chaperones will act as an intermediary between the director and students. For example, at check-in times students communicate with their assigned chaperone, who summarizes student details to the director. When students have questions or are seeking permission for a change in plan, they will first contact their assigned chaperone, who will try to resolve their question first.

Chaperones will actively monitor students while at the hotel and maintain an active presence in the parks and during activities. Chaperones will ensure students are awake with “feet on the floor” and enforce curfew times. Chaperones will need to follow the same timelines as the students and will help load/unload gear as necessary.

Chaperones costs will be $895.

Note: There will be a required chaperone meeting in March.
