Families of rising 8th graders - if your rising 8th grader is interested in participating in the Back2Back service trip during Change Our World week, please apply for a passport over the summer. Back to Back and the airline company will require current passport information at time of registration (approx. August 30) so your student will need their current passport information (expiring no sooner than May 3, 2019) in order to enroll in the Back2Back trip.
This camp could be one of your best summer investments EVER! Students have fun while literally learning how to change the world around them. We have done significant benchmarking on this experience and the feedback from those who have participated is consistently amazing. Check out Jack’s experience!
