Chaperones

As a chaperone, you’ll help guide, support, and supervise students from our branch throughout the week. You’ll attend main sessions, help enforce schedules and safety standards, and join in on the fun - cheering on our APEX team, participating in Tribe Wars, and connecting with other families and leaders.
Chaperones are not just monitors - they’re mentors, encouragers, and part of the EXPO family.
