8th Grade Trip - Washington DC
2027 Trip Dates: Sunday-Thursday, April 18-22, 2027
Informational PowerPoint Slides
As a parent, Washington D.C. is still a vivid school memory. Now it is your child’s turn! This tour is filled with the wonderful sites of our capital in its entire unique splendor. Each day of the tour is planned very carefully to get the most out of every moment. Essex Junction Recreation and Parks is offering current 8th grade students residing in Essex Junction the opportunity to learn and explore our nation’s capital during April break. We believe this will be a great experience for students to see firsthand the sites they have learned about in history class and thoroughly explore our country’s rich history. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have; we can be reached at 878-1375 or by emailing ACallan@ejrp.org.
