Trip # B156
Tour Dates: 06/21/25 to 06/25/25
Group Leader: Doug Stanton
EAST COAST TOUR:
GETTYSBURG, WASHINGTON, DC AND NEW YORK CITY
We are thrilled to offer the 8th grade Washington DC/NYC trip to currently enrolled McGuire, Kenwood, and LinK12 8th grade students
Washington D.C. and NYC are the most popular educational tour destinations for student groups. This is a great opportunity to extend the walls of the classroom by traveling to our nation's capital, the Gettysburg Battlefield, and the Big Apple. Students will stand in the shadows of our our nation's most honored historical figures, learn about leadership from a military officer, pay their respect to Americans who have fallen in war, get a bird's eye view of a busy city, absorb the sight of Lady Liberty, and be immersed in the world of business, fashion, culture and entertainment.
This trip is NOT sponsored by the Lakeville Area Public Schools District #194.

PAYMENT PROTECTION PROGRAM
Optional Payment Protection Program: Additional $309
Payment Protection Program (PPP): Due to the lengthy planning and payment period prior to the actual tour, the possibility of having to cancel is high (examples: illness, death in the family, accidents, behavior violations, financial difficulties, employment relocations, and more). PPP protects your investment from the moment you register until the trip departs. Cancel at any point prior to departure and receive a full refund of the trip price (less the cost of the PPP). The PPP will also pay your travel expenses home in the event of a family emergency during the tour. Additionally, the PPP fee can be conveniently added to your payment schedule.
