What Happens On the Trip?
Each trip is planned from scratch. We try to include many of the same things on the trip from year-to-year.
The itinerary will not be completed until about three weeks prior to the trip.
To give parents/students an idea of what the trip involves, below is the itinerary from the most recent tour.
We see a lot of things in the few days we are in D.C. Be ready for a trip of a lifetime.
