Oranim Educational Initiatives

Statement of Understanding

 

TO BE READ AND SIGNED BOTH BY APPLICANT AND PARENT

 

1.       Oranim Educational Initiatives programs are institutes for learning with educational aspects integrated with the touring experience.  There will be seminars, lectures, and special features, which will serve to enhance the quality of the program.  Participants are expected to identify with the educational component by giving their full attention at all times.

 

2.       Each group consists of 30-40 members.  Each participant is expected to accept decisions made for the group and participate in all group activities.  Another expectation is cooperation:  helping to load buses, appearing at the appointed places on time, accepting responsibilities when so assigned, etc.  It is very important that each group member make every effort to get along with all group members.

 

3.       Your adult leaders are responsible for the group.  They act on behalf of Oranim Educational Initiatives, and in most cases, their decisions are final.  They are entrusted to take the appropriate steps to insure the welfare of the group in totality and to enforce the policies of Oranim Educational Initiatives.  When necessary, they may restrict the individual participation when it serves to affect the success of the group.

 

4.       The goal of Oranim in accepting applicants for Oranim Educational Initiatives program is to offer the best possible experience on your trip.  To do so, like any quality program, certain reasonable standards of behavior must be maintained.  Disciplinary action, including terminating the tour for any participant before completion resulting from infraction of policies or unreasonable behavior, is the prerogative of Oranim Educational Initiatives.  In such cases, the return transportation will be at the participant’s OWN EXPENSE, and there cannot be ANY REFUND for the part of the program missed.  Any other additional expenses will also be the responsibility of the participant’s family.

 

5.       Payment will be made in full according to the payment schedule.  The total program cost will be paid in full by the deadline of May 15, 2006.  Participants not paid in full prior to departure will not be able to attend the program.

 

6.       Having read the above, I as a parent and I as a prospective participant understand the objectives of the Oranim Educational Initiatives, the program, the expectations of the participants enrolled in the program, and the consequences in the event that a behavioral problem occurs during the trip.

 

We agree to all terms as stated in the above guidelines.

Please sign and return with application.
