Please complete and submit the following prior to Program start:

PAIR II + III (Ages 19+) | PATH Waiver, Release & Medical Consent

The following applies to PATH Retreats only. 

What is PATH: Preserving, Archiving & Teaching Hiphop?
PATH: Preserving, Archiving & Teaching Hip Hop is a non-profit organization that uses Hiphop culture and education to advance scholarship (academic achievement), service learning, leadership and entrepreneurship. 

What is a retreat?
A retreat is time for personal and group reflection outside of one’s usual environment (physical space or otherwise). PATH Retreats are designed to disconnect from technology (there is no cell service or wifi available) and city life to engage fully with the natural environment, PATH Fam members, and be creative in a new environment.  This retreat will focus on exploring the outdoors, self-reflection, and script writing for PATH’s 2024 production.

Do I have to participate for the whole week?
If you choose to participate in the Everglades experience, we ask that you be fully present from the trip option you’ve selected. If you have scheduling conflicts, please contact Natty @ 786-837-1583 immediately to discuss.

Everyone is welcome and strongly encouraged to be available for the Friday debrief (December 29) but if you can’t make it, no problem. It isn’t mandatory.

What accommodations are available?
There is no shower on site but there is running water. Tents, grill, covered hut, camp fire, bathrooms, water station (with hose only), refrigeration (for medical purposes), emergency phone, and emergency shelter are available at the camp site.

How much does the experience cost?
The cost for participation is $25.00 for all attendees. This covers part of the cost of all activities and food. The rest of the experience is funded by PATH, Inc., The Everglades, and our generous donors. Please take this into consideration as you plan for participation. Once you commit, please follow through unless there is an emergency that you could not anticipate. If you do need to cancel, please contact Natty @ 786-837-1583 immediately.

What’s the age group?
This experience is intended for the intergenerational members of the PATH Artist-In-Residence cohort. Teens ages 14 – 17 are welcome but should be accompanied by their parent/guardian. 

Can I bring friends?
All participants MUST be invited and pre-registered. If you have friends that want to join, please have them contact us at 786-837-1583 immediately.

What should I wear?
Dress in casual, comfortable attire for movement, planned activities, and the weather. The experience is mostly outdoors, so bring a long sleeved shirt for protection from the sun and mosquitos and shoes that can get wet and dirty. Additional items can be found in the “WHAT TO PACK” section.

Will food be served?
Yes. We will enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. Please bring your own lunch on Wednesday, December 27. We will provide water and every other meal (no pork or shell fish products). If you have dietary restrictions, you may consider bringing your own prepared food (that can be heated up on the grill). Limited refrigeration space is available.

Do you provide transportation to and from the program?
Transportation will not be needed once we arrive at the campsite. We will carpool to and from the Everglades.
