2026 Trips are ON SALE! (Part 2)
2026 Trips are here!
As many of you have already noticed, a months ago we launched our full lineup of trips for 2026! They are all awesome and we are very much looking forward to bringing each and every one of them to you. Last month, we used this space to go into detail about the shorter trips on our 2026 schedule. This month, we’re discussing our “standards” – the longer, beefier trips you all know and love. Or maybe you know and simply acknowledge? Anyway...
As a reminder: this year, the theme of our trip launch is “PacSet vs. The Robots.” In honor of the theme, everyone who signs up for a PacSet trip between now and December 31 gets a limited-edition T-shirt featuring our mascot Kippu taking out a city-destroying robot. Look at how awesome this thing is:
The shirt is designed by Juliana Chen, whose work includes the Momo series of Halloween Google doodles. Shirts will be delivered to everyone this coming January. The shirt will ONLY be available during this promotion, after which it will be gone. And no, you cannot purchase one outside of this promotion – you’ve gotta sign up for a trip!
Speaking of trips, let’s talk about those, shall we?
