Pitman+Class+of+25%E2%80%99s+Graduation+Events

With an upcoming graduation, the class of 2024 is soon to leave, making way for the class of 2025. Pitman’s class of 2025 has many adventures coming soon with one of the biggest being GradWeek and GradNite! There are two graduation events set up for the incoming Seniors including a trip to Hawaii and a private trip to Disneyland!

 

Gradweek’s Hawaii Trip 

Hawaii is the biggest and most looked forward to among Pitman’s future Seniors, although the trip may not be accessible for everyone as the cheapest bundle deal for the trip is $1,700, many are still looking forward to this trip. The initial deposit for this trip was $150 and was due on February 15th, 2024. Monthly payments with the minimum of $50 will be required till the 22nd of February in 2025. 

 

The trip will be a weeklong and breakfast every morning will be included but only one dinner will be provided for the final day. The base package includes a roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations for the whole stay. The package will also include a Gradweek wristband which will grant exclusive discounts on restaurants and tours. There will also be a club pass included that allows you access to up to three clubs. Once the group lands in Hawaii they will be given access to purchase extra add on packages.

 

Add On Packages

There are two extra add ons for this trip with Action Pac A and Action Pac B. Included in Action Pac A you will be allowed to pick one of the watersports listed below:

  • Parasailing
  • Jet Skiing
  • Bumper Tube
  • Banana Boat
  • Surf Lessons 

Also included in this package is a Secret Island Beach Blowout, which the Gradweek website describes as:

“A scenic bus ride full of lush green landscaping and breathtaking waterfalls before arriving at the famous Kualoa Ranch. Upon arrival, you’ll board boats and head to Secret Island for kayaking, canoe riding, standup paddle boarding, beach volleyball, table tennis, horseshoes, or a ride on their glass-bottom boat. In addition to all the free activities. Lunch is included! This will be one of the best days of your trip!!”

 

Action Pac B will include everything Action Pack A includes but will include a Hawaii Luau. This Luau is described on their website as 

 

“Luau features a traditional Hawaiian dinner feast consisting of Hawaiian and American foods. You will be treated to the finest Polynesian entertainment anywhere! In addition, you’ll receive the Souvenir T-Shirt & Spring Break Cash!”

 

The prices of these two packs are unknown at the moment because they are additional add ons you can only purchase at your arrival. 

 

GradNite DisneyLand Trip

The Disneyland trip is the most accessible trip for Seniors as it is only around $300 which is much more affordable but still a hefty amount. This trip will be a one day only trip to Disney California Adventure Park. The park will be reserved after 9 p.m. exclusively for GradNite attendees only and transportation will be provided. 

 

With everything to come, the future Seniors have a lot to look forward to and we cannot wait for the future to come.
