Travel
We’re excited about the possibility of offering a merit-based Spring trip to visit key historical sites on the East Coast. Plans are still being finalized, and more information will be shared as it becomes available.
To help families prepare, we’ve gathered a selection of optional travel accessories that many travelers find helpful. None of these items are required.
Please speak with Shawn Crane before making any trip-specific purchases.
