YOCJ is thrilled to initiate our return to touring with an exciting domestic trip for the Summer of 2023! We anticipate that this trip will fit into your end-of-the-school-year calendar and summer camp plans!
Our trip is being planned by Tour Resource Consultants (TRC.)
FRIDAY JUNE 23 to SUNDAY JUNE 25, 2023
We are fortunate to be so close to Washington D.C. to enjoy its many offerings, such as the Kennedy Center, the National Symphony Orchestra performing John Williams’ Star Wars soundtrack, the Marine Barracks Parade, the National Mall and more! YOCJ students will have special performance opportunities at the memorable World War II Memorial, as well as the Jefferson Memorial. Perhaps the highlight will be the Pizza and Bowling Party to cap off our weekend!
