Fundraising Made Easy Ideas

American Christian Tours recognizes safety as our highest priority. The following are a few of the procedures we have in place: American Christian Tours uses established and vetted motorcoach vendors, hotels, restaurants, and attractions. We also follow all established federal guidelines outlined for motorcoach operators. Each participant is provided with a program badge and lanyard to wear throughout the tour. This badge is preprinted with the American Christian Tours 24-hour toll-free emergency hotline number that participants or first responders can use to contact our office in cases of emergency. Students are not allowed to be without adult supervision. At hotels, through-the-night hall monitor security is provided via bonded and licensed operators. Hotel orientation is given to review stairs location and evacuation procedures.

American Christian Tours requires 20 participants to be considered a stand-alone group. For smaller groups there are a couple of options: Consider joining one of our open tours (if available) Consider “matching” with another small group (if available)

The Group Leader is the person with whom we communicate about the program. This person is often a teacher or school administrator, but can also be another school staff person or a volunteer parent.

Most groups book their programs a year in advance. The earlier the program is booked, the more time families have to make monthly payments.

T-Shirts - Have a design contest amongst your students for a new school t-shirt. Sell them school-wide. Ask your administration team to choose a “casual day” as an incentive - a day when all who purchase a shirt can wear them to school with nice jeans. Concessions - Have your students man a concession table at scheduled school events. Breakfast items - Sell muffins, O.J., milk, bagels, etc. at school in the morning. Coffee - Let your kids get creative and set up their own version of Starbucks to be sold before and after school and/or at lunch. Baked Goods - Sell baked goods one day a week (“Fresh-Baked Fridays”). Rotate which students bring in the baked goods each week. Cookie Dough - Sell frozen or shelf-stable cookie dough. For more information on this, follow the link: Cookie Dough Fundraiser. Ice Cream Cones - Live in a warmer climate? Even if you don’t, who doesn’t love an occasional ice cream cone? Enlist your students to scoop and sell ice cream at lunch or after school. Or, consider hosting an ice cream social as a one-time event (if you’re extra ambitious, add in games, raffles or a talent show!). Miscellaneous items - Cards, Candy, Pizza, Fruit, Wrapping Paper, Home Interior Candles, etc. Whatever you feel would be of most interest to your school families and/or surrounding community. The sky is the limit as to what you can sell!

While American Christian Tours takes a number of steps to accommodate food requirements and dietary restrictions, it is impossible for us to guarantee specific food availability or uniquely-prepared foods for those with special dietary needs. For those children who have serious food allergies or complex food requirements, we encourage parents to include snacks and extra meal money to purchase specially-prepared foods. An adult participant will be expected to be able to accommodate for their own special dietary food requirements while on the program. The Organizer should be informed of any special dietary needs and, if necessary, share information with American Christian Tours. American Christian Tours will not be able to provide a list of eating establishments prior to program departure.

Both registration and payments are completed online. Payments can be made by Visa, MasterCard, Discover cards or by PayPal. Checks and money orders are also accepted. The Registration Fee is paid upon registration. The remaining program cost is divided into four approximately equal payments: one to be paid one hundred and fifty (150) days prior to trip departure, one to be paid one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to trip departure, on to be paid ninety (90) days prior to trip departure and at sixty (60) days prior to trip departure. Scheduled payments need to be made on time in order to avoid a late charge. Participants can make additional payments any time as long the scheduled payments are up-to-date. Except for the Registration Fee, the payments are made payable directly to American Christian Tours' Client Trust Account, an FDIC-insured client trust account administered by an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants. *In California, all payments, including the deposit, go directly to American Christian Tours Client Trust.

Your trip organizer/teacher will determine what electronics you can use and what guidelines are in place for cellphone use. However, at a minimum, American Christian Tours will ask that during tours and presentations your phones be silenced or turned off.

American Christian Tours has an exclusive staff of trained and licensed Education Program Leaders (EPL). They are selected based on their background, education, personality attributes, and experience with young people.

American Christian Tours has earned the confidence of tens of thousands of travelers since we began operations in 1984. We are committed to excellence in each aspect of our organization. While every single detail is important, the safety needs of our travelers guides each decision. Safety and security are our number one priority.

While on tour with American Christian Tours, you and your friends will travel in style in a modern motor coach. This is not a yellow schoolbus! Your seats will be cushioned and upholstered. They usually recline, have headrests, and footrests too! There are large windows for great viewing. Each motorcoach is air conditioned and restroom equipped. Motorcoaches usually have video monitors and if time permits you will be able to watch movies while traveling. Our friendly motorcoach drivers will drop us off as close as possible to where we need to go. Sometimes we may walk a couple of blocks because it just makes better sense.

Yes. All American Christian Tours Education Program Leaders go through background checks and are also licensed by the District of Columbia.

Anything with “a-thon” - Students seek out donors who will pledge to donate a certain amount of money per mile, kilometer, minute, hour, etcetera, that the student completes a task.

Students can form teams of 2-4 so that only one rocking chair is needed for every 2-4 students.Someone must be rocking at all times. Jump-rope-a-thon (w/ jump ropes) - Donors can pledge XX amount of money per jump (in a designated amount of time) on Jump-rope-a-thon day.For example, if you allot 45 minutes for the Jump-rope-a-thon, donors may choose to pledge $0.01, $0.10, or $0.25 per jump.

The Group Leader works with us in deciding which program will be offered, the dates of the program, etc. The Group Leader also appoints chaperones. These chaperones can be teachers, school staff, or parents. Each chaperone is typically responsible for a certain number of students. Group Leaders promote the trip using suggestions and tools provided by American Christian Tours. While on location, the Group Leader helps with decisions if and when they need to be made and, of course, aids in supervision and discipline.

Yes, usually your school dress code will suffice. Your program organizer/teacher will clarify what is allowed. Keep in mind that American Christian Tours enforces a no alcohol/no drugs/no profanity/no sex policy. That means any clothing that would in any way show/refer to/state/imply anything to do with alcohol, drugs, profanity, or sex will not be allowed.

Breakfasts are typically provided by the hotel. Because lunches are usually at the participants expense (not included in the price of the program), they take place in areas that offers various options (food court, cafeteria, town square). Dinners are hot meals that may be served as a buffet or a plated meal. There are always a variety of choices, including vegetarian and gluten-free options.

No—there is no upper limit! We have worked with groups of over 450 participants and very routinely work with groups of 200+ participants. These groups are divided into motorcoach "teams" and each team has its own American Christian Tours Program Leader.

Yes. Your parent or guardian will set up and account and make a reservation for you to be on your program. They will have a user name and password. If your parents want to share that username and password with your grandma they can. People can make numerous payments on your account at any time with different credit cards.

With today’s technology, students are much more accessible via their own cell phone or the cell phone of the group Organizer. American Christian Tours would recommend contacting the group Organizer before speaking with your child. In addition to cell phone contact, about three weeks before trip departure, the group Organizer will receive hotel information, including addresses and phone numbers, to share with participants. American Christian Tours also has a 24-hour hotline (800-222-2001), which reaches our office staff who in turn will contact the Education Program Leader who is with your child.

The majority of schools schedule their programs during regular school time. April and May are the most popular months, along with the time around spring break, which changes year-to-year. More schools at taking notice of the advantages of traveling during off-season times including January, February, and autumn. During these times there are shorter lines and fewer crowds. About ten percent of schools travel during summer break.

Yes, American Christian Tours follows all ADA guidelines. For example, if a student requires a wheelchair lift on the motorcoach, we will arrange for that. During the registration process, there is a place to indicate the need for a special service.

Your trip organizer/teacher will determine any assignments you might have. American Christian Tours does provide a student workbook/journal for you to bring along on the program. It helps orientate you to the different sites you might visit on tour.

American Christian Tours manages the money. Our accounting department works directly with each family. American Christian Tours and its sister company use a client trust account administered by an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants for the protection of your money. Other student tour providers have trust accounts to be sure, but they are self-administered. In other words, the tour provider can access your money; American Christian Tours does not. All monies are held in a CPA administered trust fund, other than the deposit. Funds are only released for your program expenses when due. Any additional monies are released at the conclusion of your program. Your money is safely in the hands of the independent CPAs who pay the bills and only pay American Christian Tours after your trip is over. During the program, our Education Program Leaders (EPL) are with your group 24 hours a day from the time you arrive on location until you are on your way home. The EPL takes care of all arrangements, provides teaching throughout the program, and in general runs the trip. We provide through-the-night hall security guards who will watch over your group at the hotel(s).

When an Education Program is listed as being in a "Waitlist Status," it means the number of registered participants exceeds available transportation (airline, motorcoach, etc.) capacity. American Christian Tours is aware of the situation and is working to secure additional space. American Christian Tours strongly encourages participants to continue to register, as most waitlist situations do get resolved. Participants are removed from the waitlist in the order in which they registered. You will be notified when your waitlist status has been lifted and you have been moved to the active list. In the rare event that American Christian Tours is unable to secure additional space, all monies paid will be refunded to the participants.

Typically, there are four students in a room. There are rare occasions when, due to an odd number of students on the program, there may be three or five (roll-away bed) in a room. Students may also room with their parent. American Christian Tours policy does not allow for only two students in a room.

We love learning, and we love it, even more, when we help inspire others to want to learn more, too! We are often asked for recommendations of what to read, listen to, or watch to learn more... ​ Those requests motivated the following collection of resources. It is by no means exhaustive. It is wonderful to be part of a time in history when so many resources are available. It is the desire of American Christian Tours that the influence of your Education Travel Programs impacts more than just a few days of your life.

American Christian Tours recommends providing the group Organizer with any pertinent medical information.

American Christian Tours does offer a Land Only option, which means the participant makes their own travel arrangements to and from the Education Program. Contact the group Organizer for the Land Only form, which needs to be completed and submitted to our office. The program price is adjusted after the Land Only form is processed. *Note: We do not allow a minor participant to fly unaccompanied, therefore, a single student must fly with the group.

Participants should be strongly encouraged to follow the scheduled dates for your Education Program registration and payments. When Registration Fee and payment dates have passed, an individual will be considered a late registrant and will be required to register as a ‘Waitlisted’ participant. While we will attempt to secure space on the program it may not be possible. Please keep the following in mind for ‘waitlisted’ participants: If airline seats have already been ticketed/released, we likely will not be able to secure an additional airline ticket with the group, or the ticket price may be higher (possibly considerably higher) than what was secured for the group. Consequently, there would be an additional fee for the airline ticket, and more than likely, late registrants will not be able to fly with the group. Note: We do not allow a minor participant to fly unaccompanied, therefore, a single student must fly with the group. Tickets for some venues may no longer be available (e.g. Broadway, museums, etc.). Tickets often sell out months prior, particularly during high-volume times of the year. If we cannot secure a ticket for an event with the group, the late registrant would not be able to attend the event/activity. If hotel space has been released, it is likely that additional rooms will not be available. Our Reservations Team will work with you as the Organizer to determine the possibility of housing late registrants within the existing group space.

Set up a few hoops at different heights (kiddie hoop, 5-feet, 8-feet, and 10-feet) and the whole school can get involved as participants from each grade level (K-12) join the contest. Sell tickets to the event, and hand out prizes to the winner of each category.

You will want to check your package itinerary for specific details regarding which meals are included. Usually participants need to plan to purchase lunches each day. An average budget of about $10 per lunch works for most individuals. The only other expense would be souvenirs. If the program includes air travel, you will need to anticipate baggage fees for checked bags; these fees are different for each airline. The airline’s website is an excellent resource for up-to-date information.
