Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown

In 2006-2007, in addition to the annual European trips, Heritage is offering a domestic trip to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. This trip is set for the first week in October 2006, and is geared toward returning 8th & 9th grade students. Those students will get preferred acceptance, but if there is insufficient response from that group, participation will be opened to all Heritage students from 8th to 12th grades. We are limited to a maximum of twenty-six (26) participants, fifteen (15) of whom must be students. The cost for each participant is $525, which covers all travel, accommodations and meals, but not the cost of incidentals such as souvenirs or Coca-Colas.

As you might guess from the destinations, the emphasis of this trip is on the Colonial Period and the early days of the American republic. Because we want students to immerse themselves into the colonial era as much as possible, we have not skimped on costs where it would adversely affect the experience. So, for example, we will eat at least two meals at taverns in Colonial Williamsburg. These are fairly expensive meals, but they will feature genuine colonial fare in the very taverns in which the radical (we would say patriot) burgesses reconvened when the royal governor dissolved the House of Burgesses.
