Select New Trip at the top of the sidebar (on a phone, open Trips and select New Trip).

The Trips page listing your trips (desktop)

Enter Trip Information

Give the trip a Trip Name (e.g. “Spring Break 2027”) and start typing the hotel or venue Address. Pick the matching result from the autocomplete list — StayPut uses it to look up the trip’s timezone, so an address must be selected, not just typed.

Set Dates

Open Dates and pick the arrival and departure dates on the calendar. Trip dates must be in the future, and departure must come after arrival. StayPut uses noon in the trip’s timezone for monitoring boundaries — you don’t need to enter times.

The New Trip form filled in with a name, address, and dates (desktop)

Create the Trip

Select Create Trip. The new trip starts with no rooms, students, or curfews, and StayPut walks you through the remaining setup steps — Room Plan, Curfews, and Chaperones. Each one can be skipped with Skip for Now and finished later from the trip’s tabs.
