World Travelers' Club 2026 Trip: Dominican Republic!

Dear families, Educational travel exposes students to new people, places, and cultures which in turn expands their knowledge of the world and their knowledge of themselves. That’s why we are thrilled to bring this opportunity to your family and our community.

These trips are an incredible opportunity for our students to explore a new country, culture, and language, and we can’t wait to see them discover more about themselves, gain leadership skills, and grow more confident in the process.

Space is limited and comes on a first-come, first-serve basis for this trip. Our group had reserved spots. Please be sure to sign up as soon as possible! This trip will fill up fast!
