Participants of THE PULSE will have the opportunity to go on field trips throughout the summer. A schedule will be available by early April. In addition to the scheduled trips, THE PULSE may add impromptu trips as decided by the participants, as a bus is available daily. Ideas will be generated by participants and could include an afternoon movie on rainy days, trips to Dairy Queen, local parks, etc.

Optional swim day on Fridays at the CMSE pool. 

Vacation days are allotted based on the number of days per week you are registered. If you are registered 5 days per week, you receive 5 vacation days, 4 days per week and you receive 4 vacation days, etc. Once the allotted days have been used, payment is required for any additional absences.

Pick-your-days scheduling for the PULSE does not qualify for vacations days.
