Come aboard a journey to the vibrant capital of the United States, Washington D.C. from May 12-16th! Join us for an enriching experience filled with history, culture, and political significance.
We’ll explore iconic landmarks such as the majestic Lincoln Memorial, the grand Capitol Building, and the impressive Smithsonian museums along the National Mall, each telling a unique story of the nation’s past. The diverse neighborhoods, from the historic charm of Georgetown to the modern energy of the Wharf, provide a delightful array of dining and shopping options, making the trip not just educational but also enjoyable. Whether you’re a history buff, a political enthusiast, or simply looking to experience the rich tapestry of American life, a visit to Washington D.C. promises to be an unforgettable adventure.
The cost of the trip is $325 for students and $650 for guests/non-students which covers round-trip bus transportation*, hotel accommodations (including a hot breakfast) at Comfort Inn Arlington, and a night bus tour with a professional guide (optional).
