Every semester, the University Student Union (USU) plans a variety of trips that allow students to get out of Turlock for a bit and forget about the stress that classes may bring. The Weekend Warrior Program hosts these events, varying from baseball games to concerts, at half the price of which they would normally cost.
For the Fall 2015 semester, the Weekend Warrior Program has four trips planned that will be sure to bring some fun to the coming weeks, so keep these dates in mind.
iFly and Pier 39 in Union City
Cost: $40
On Sept. 18, experience iFly. iFly is a state-of-the-art vertical wind tunnel that provides a safe way for you to enjoy and experience what it’s like to skydive. After you’re done soaring, enjoy shopping, great food and more at San Francisco’s Pier 39. Sign-ups for this event are held Aug. 28 through Sept. 11.
San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers at AT&T Park

The Dodgers come to San Francisco on Sept. 30 to play their long-time rivals. Bring your glove and be sure to grab some of AT&T Park’s famous garlic fries! Root for either team by signing up Sept. 14 through Sept. 28.
California’s Great America Halloween Haunt in Santa Clara
Cost: $30
On Oct. 30, see California’s Great America transformed into the fright fest that is known as the Halloween Haunt. In addition to the regular rides of Great America, there are horror-filled mazes, spooky live shows and scare zones sure to get your heart pounding. Sign-ups for this event are Oct. 9 through Oct. 23.
Nitro Circus Live in San Jose
Cost: $30

Sign-ups for all events are held at the USU service desk beginning at 8 a.m. on the day of sign-ups. Students are only allowed to sign themselves up, so if your friend wants to tag along as well, make sure they are able to write their own name down. Sign-ups operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. In the event that a trip is filled, students can put their name down on a waiting list and will be notified if a spot becomes available.
After signing up for a trip, students have two days to cancel with no questions asked. Trips can be cancelled due to inclement weather, insufficient enrollment or any other conditions that may come up as determined by the Weekend Warrior Coordinator. Cancelled trips result in the refunding of all fees.
Transportation for each event is included with the cost of your ticket, and all trips depart from Lot 8 at the specified time for each event.
