approximate $75 per day to spend on breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks. Any remaining money will be the students to spend as they wish (within reason)

hotel are included - Students are expected to arrange their own

transport to the airport and the return. The cost of a return coach journey is ??????

Spending money

I would recommend that each student has between £150 and £200 as spending money, depending on what they will be spending money on.

The figure quoted above is only a recommendation.

If your child is likely to spend money on clothing please budget for this and remember we have a weight limit on luggage!
