CYC in New York July 29th to August 1st 2010

Our Hotel
Four Points by Sheraton in Plainview New York.
Located about 15 mins drive from Eisenhower park off Exit 49 of the Long Island Expressway.
Cutoff date for the rates will be June 20th. The room rates are $145 USD per night.

All parents must be booked into our hotel by Wednesday, July 28th. All kids participating in tournament will be receiving wrist bands that identify their respective age groups. All children must appear in person and will be verified by a CYC official with their CYC photo ID card. This ID will be completed prior to the trip.

All prices are based on a family of 4 staying in one room for 5 nights at our designated hotel.

Hotel Cost
5 nights = $145 x 5 nights = $725 USD

Cost per person = $181.25 (based on 4 sharing)

Travel Options will be based on July 28th to August 2nd:

  1. Driving down to Long Island will take 9 to 11 hours depending on traffic.
  2. Booking a coach to Long Island will cost $5055.43 (taxes and hotel for driver included). Cost per person will be $90.30 (based on a full bus of 56 passengers).
  3. MegaBus to New York is $82.50 return. 4 departure times daily beginning at 8am.
  4. Flying to NYC
    a. Toronto – JFK $260   www.flightcentre.ca  28th July – 2 Aug
    b. Buffalo – LGA $208   www.flightcentre.ca  28th July – 2 Aug

The best option is either driving down or booking a coach. The issue with the other options is you will have to arrange your own transportation to Long Island. We have been guaranteed $250 from the Canadian County Board for all participating kids. Whatever travel option parents make, all individuals will receive the same amount of funding.

Based on a Family of Four (2 players playing):

Option #2
Coach ($90.30) + hotel ($181.25) = $271.55 per person.
Subtract $250 from total cost per player ($271.55) = $21.55 per player.

($271.55 x 2) + ($21.55 x 2) = $586.20 divided by 4

TOTAL COST PER PERSON = $146.55
WITH NO EXTRA FUNDRAISING
(based on a family of 4, 2 adults, 2 children playing, staying in one room for 5 nights at designated hotel)

$100 Deposit per person required by June 6th.
