Submission of the registration form and payment of the deposit will reserve your spot on the expedition. While we strive to accommodate all who would like to participate, space on each expedition is limited.

If you receive a message that all of the spaces are full, please follow the instructions given to add your name(s) to the wait-list. Plans do change, and spots frequently become available.

Depending on how early you register and receive your registration confirmation, it may be several weeks or months before you receive more information.  As registration finalizes you will begin to receive a wealth of information and instructions. Please do not purchase flights until we confirm that there are enough people registered for your expedition.

Each participant will also receive an expedition-specific manual and travel packet full of valuable information covering all aspects of the expedition and instructions for participating in an orientation conference call which will take place about 8 weeks prior to your expedition. 

Expedition questions may be directed to carrie.k@familyhumanitarian.org.

In addition to the basic information requested on the online registration form, the registration process will also ask each participant to complete:

• Flight itinerary.
• Proof of at least $25,000 of medical evacuation insurance. This is generally purchased through travel insurance. We recommend shopping for travel insurance at TravelInsurance.com. Travel insurance is not required but recommended. If you pay by credit card, sometimes travel credit cards include medical evacuation insurance, and on occasion regular health insurance includes emergency medical evacuation. 
• For any minors traveling alone or with only one parent we also recommend carrying a signed and notarized “Authorization for Minors to Travel” form with you when you travel.

Please complete the information on your registration as it becomes available. The first time you reenter your registration form you will need to “claim your account.” 

All forms must be submitted no later than 60 days prior to departure.

Final payment can be made by credit card through your online registration form or by mailing a check made out to Family Humanitarian to 8201 Yacht Club Drive, Rowlett, TX  75089. In order to keep expedition fees as low as possible we allow families to avoid the credit card fee by electing to pay by check during the registration process. You can check your registration preferences here. You will need to “claim your account” if it is your first time to log in since registration. Venmo is also available upon request. 

Payment of the full expedition fee is appreciated as soon as possible but is due no later than 60 days prior to departure.
