Hershey Park- Senior Week

We will have two buses for this trip. Each bus will stop at both the Beren and Wilf Campuses, so it does not matter which bus you go on. You may leave items on the bus, but OSL nor the bus company can guarantee the safety and security of your items while they are on the bus unsupervised, so we recommend not leaving any valuables on the bus.

The buses will stop at Beren first at 6:30 AM by 245 Lexington Ave. They will then make their way to Wilf and arrive at approximately 7:15 AM in front of MTA/Zysman. Please be on time for the bus so we can take advantage of the full day at the park. When boarding the bus, you must present your CampusGroups ticket. You may be asked to show your YU ID, so please bring that as well. Once all students present at the boarding location are on the bus, we will be departing. We expect the buses to be near, if not completely, full

The earliest minyan on the Wilf Campus is at 6:30 AM in Shenk. This minyan is open to both Wilf and Beren students, but transportation will not be provided to the minyan. Please use your judgment on when to leave minyan if it goes past 7:15 AM, as we plan on departing once all students present at the boarding location are on the bus.

We will be serving breakfast on the bus and will also provide bagels for lunch. A meat dinner will be provided by the park's kosher food catering free of charge (a vegetarian option will also be available). Dinner will start at 5:30 PM, and the buses will leave the park back for NYC at 7:00 PM.

Hershey Park's website says that outside food is now allowed in parks. However, we do not think they will be checking bags, and if you tell them you are bringing snacks in for kosher reasons, we highly doubt they will stop you. But we did want you to be aware of the policy.

Other items you may want to bring include sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, sneakers and a large water bottle – stay hydrated!
