Friday, Feb. 15 -- 6:00 pm

Our mustering-in for boarding the ship and initial orientation is at 6:00 pm on Friday, Feb. 15, though dinner is on your own; there will be some time to go back ashore and forage for provisions before the evening orientation and movie.

Your $75 covers Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus Sunday breakfast; if you plan to leave Saturday afternoon/evening and not stay aboard that night, make sure to let Jeff know.

We will want all Scouts in uniform for Saturday after breakfast for a group picture on the hangar deck and to raise flags at Fort Sumter, embarking (as things currently stand) at 10 am at the foot of the dock. Casual wear all other times!

Family on-shore overnight will pay $15 for full access to the ship on Saturday, and $8 for the boat trip *as available* which we can't yet guarantee. There will be 470 people sleeping on the Yorktown Friday night, of which we're just 75; Saturday night will be a bit quieter at 200, but they'll need us cleared out by 9 am Sunday for 500 coming in that day.

Check back regularly for updates and fun information to get the most out of your trip!
