Every summer we travel to two great cities with a group of 8th graders. Students spend months learning about these historic locations; now they can experience them first-hand. We will spend 3 days in Washington DC and 3 more days in New York City exploring and learning about our nation's history. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the cost. There is also travel insurance and overnight security. See some of the tour highlights below.
