GCA Italy & Greece Trip
March 4, 2022 - March 13, 2022
Dear future travelers,
Mrs. Kalkman is pleased to announce the 2022 GCA Trip to Italy and Greece. This school field trip is offered to students who will be enrolled at GCA as a 10th or 11th grade student during the 2021-22 school year and their immediate parent only. We will explore famous historic sites, discover the rich heritage and diversity of different cultures and experience the places we've studied in school. Students will grow and mature as individuals and return home with a whole new worldview.
We have chosen to travel with Explorica because of their exceptional safety record, their supportive service and their glowing reviews from other teachers in our community who travel with them. GCA travelled with them last year and it was a very successful trip. Explorica programs offer the perfect mixture of fun and learning, and they provide everything we need.
Please read the trip documents and feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Don't delay your decision. Spots on this trip will fill extremely quickly. The deadline for enrolling at this price is Tuesday, April 25, 2021.

Students (travelers under the age of 23): $3,515
