Close Up Washington – May 1 to May 8, 2009.
We will travel to D.C. You will meet kids from all over the country. You’ll study government, visit diverse neighborhoods, take in a play at the Kennedy Center, talk politics, tour the Capitol and the monuments and the Library of Congress. You’ll debate issues that matter to young people. And you will do it all in a year when this country has elected a new president. That should make things particularly exciting. Close Up starts on Sunday night …Our Oakridge group goes a day earlier on Saturday morning. We search out D.C. on our own for a day and a half – before we join the crowd. And then Close Up takes over and becomes the teacher. Close Up is cool – you’re going to have a GREAT time.
Use the category section Close Up – daily info for information regarding fundraising and general communication between travelers. Post here if you have questions about the specifics of the trip.
“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – Miriam Beard
