Overview
The Quebec trip takes place every two years. Students will travel to Canada by bus, for a 4-day long journey.
Quebec City is, incontestably, a living breathing winter-wonderland. It's no surprise that the historic city is home to the oldest Winter Carnival in the world and the largest Winter Carnival in the Western Hemisphere. Come practice your French and your high kicks with Bonhomme Carnaval, all while mastering your snow tube skills. In 2024, we are also celebrating the Carnaval de Québec's 70th anniversary!
We look forward to providing a fun and educational adventure that your student will remember for a lifetime!
