2009

The Spring Trip is an opportunity for our student to travel and learn the culture, geography, and history of another place in the USA or oversea firsthand. The goals of the program are to foster socialization, develop independence, responsibility and teamwork, and to prepare children for the experience of being separated from their parents. In addition to the adventure of traveling to another country, our Spring Trip teaches children how to manage their emotions and encourages the development of personal traits such as integrity, honesty, empathy, decisiveness and, most of all, caring.

On the Spring Trip, students aged five through 18 spend approximately 5-14 days away from home. Past destinations have included Spain, Morocco, Jamaica, St. Thomas, St. Croix, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Anguilla, Aruba, Barbados, Turks and Caicos, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica and all US States.
