Expenses Details:

Approximate Total: 

• Registration Fee:  $250/person and includes conference materials, t-shirt, and lunch + dinner during the conference (breakfast is at the conference hotels). Participants are responsible for transportation to/from Derry, hotel accommodations, and any optional pre/post conference activities/excursions. During the conference, Pinkerton Academy will provide bus transportation between official conference hotels and Pinkerton Academy.   Conference hotels provide complimentary shuttles between the Manchester airport (MHT) and the hotel.

• Airfare (approximately $280-$300 ) – The MASC delegation will fly in on Sunday morning and participate in the pre-conference event and fly out on Wednesday after the conference concludes.  NOTE:  for the last two years, the delegation has set a meeting place at the airport, and students booked their flights – many parents have travel points that would greatly reduce the cost of the airfare.

• Ground Transportation from Airport to Hotel (arriving), School to Airport (departing) (free shuttle from Manchester Airport to Hotel). The conference provides buses from the hotel to Pinkerton Academy (approximately 20-minute ride).

• Hotel:  –(between $159 – $189 per night plus tax – split with four in a room if possible)
* In the past, if needed, MASC has shared a room with another state delegation to fill the room and save money!!
   >> Looking at the most expensive hotel ($189 per night) is $205 with tax….three nights>$615.19
 >> two per room $307.60   — three per room $205.07   — four per room $153.80

• Pre-Conference Social: about $60

• MASC tee shirts/crab hat/MD crab pins: $100. This cost is based on getting two MASC tee shirts (approximately $12 each), two crab hats (about $15), and MD crab pins ($12 per dozen – students will want several dozen for trading)
