From the Wire...
Visions is excited to offer 8th-9th grade Home School students a unique opportunity to experience our nation’s Capital in October 2017.
This cross-country field trip to Washington DC will be chaperoned by Visions CTs. Leaving Northern California by plane, the group will spend five days and four nights touring sites such as:
- The National Air and Space Museum
- The Lincoln Memorial
- The Vietnam War Memorial
- Ford’s Theater (Site of President Lincoln’s Assassination)
- Mt. Vernon (Home of George and Martha Washington)
- The National Museum of American History
- The US Capitol Building
- The National Museum of Natural History
- Arlington National Cemetery
- The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
- The Library of Congress
At this time, we are only accepting Home School students who will be in 8th or 9th grade in the Fall of 2017.
We have chosen a fall itinerary to minimize costs and crowds.
Students who are interested should sign up ASAP on the interest list (linked in the flyer below). By signing up, you are not obligated to participate, but this will give us a clearer idea of numbers and help to solidify costs. Commitments will be made when contracts (made directly with Adventures America) are signed and first payments are made. Students will be sleeping 4 to a room, grouped by gender, and will have a packed schedule. Parents are not able to attend as the program is only open to students and Visions CT chaperones.
Although we cannot utilize student funds for this trip, there is a payment plan that will be outlined at an informational meeting to be held at the Visions office on Nov. 7. For more, please read the
Visions In Education Washington DC Trip flyer.
