Annual Close Up Trip to Washington, D.C.

Close Up is a program which brings high school students from all over the country to Washington, D.C. in order to learn more about the government and the city.

Students participate in lively lectures and debates about current and past political topics. Tours are arranged for the students; these include excursions to monuments, museums, and other areas of historical interest. A highlight of the trip is the "Capitol Hill Day," whereby the students are able to meet with senators and representatives, as well as tour the U.S. Capitol.

The trip is open to students in grades 10-12.

If you have questions or would like to sign up for the 2011 trip (March 13-18), please contact Mr. Hoverson at dhoverson@cadets.com or 651-683-1555 x321.
