2007 Spring Break Trip Announced

A Spring Break Trip has been organized for members of the Boys’ Latin Golf Team, which will find them traveling to Bald Head Island, North Carolina March 15-18, 2007. The Trip will be an excellent exercise in team building and learning, as well as individual and group-oriented growth. This will be the second time in three seasons that the Lakers will travel to Bald Head Island for Spring Break - and will no doubt produce a healthy and memorable experience for all those attending.

Bald Head Island is a secluded community off the coast of the Cape Fear River. A twenty-minute ferry ride shuttles individuals to and from the Island. Golf carts are the only method of transportation available on the island. A grocery store, a clubhouse, a golf course, a restaurant, a lighthouse, and individual homes are the only structures on the Island. The Island offers a unique vacation experience, and promises to afford the Lakers an ideal opportunity for team building exercises.

A 4,500 square foot ocean-front home has been reserved for the Laker Golf Team. This six bedroom, five bathroom home, has a scenic view of the Atlantic Ocean, a wrap-around porch, a sunroom, and offers two golf carts for team usage.

Total travel time from Baltimore to Bald Head Island is over eight hours. To ensure the safety of all travelers, the team will travel by private motor coach – chartered through Dwayne Greer of A.S. Midway Tours & Limousines in Baltimore. The motor coach will offer comfort in size and will include amenities such as a Restroom, Television, DVD Player, and MP3 Player outlets. Mr. Greer has graciously reduced his price for the Laker Golf Team and is offering his services at a significant savings. To learn more about A.S.

A special discounted rate has also been secured for the Lakers on the Bald Head Island Golf Course. PGA Professional Ron Thompson has reduced the normal $90 per round greens fee to a $65 unlimited play special for Boys’ Latin.

Coaches Champion, Euker, Vaughn and Schreck plan to attend the Trip; which will offer an effective coach-to-student ratio and provide enough resource to ensure safety and effective guidance throughout the trip.
