Summary:

|
Springfield Learning Academy would like four students and one chaperone to travel to Washington, D.C., for the Close Up program from April 16-19. All expenses will be paid through the Simon Youth Foundation (SYF).
Close Up’s four-day Washington, D.C., high school program is a one-of-a-kind student travel experience. During this four-day/three-night program, students participate in study visits to some of our country’s most celebrated landmarks and institutions and gain the skills to become active, engaged citizens. With Close Up, students have the opportunity to:
- Discuss current events with experts, policymakers, and members of Congress or their staff;
- Explore Capitol Hill and witness a live congressional committee hearing to see how laws are made;
- Debate the most pressing issues facing our nation with peers from across the United States in a Mock Congress; and
- Visit awe-inspiring monuments, memorials, museums, and landmarks such as the Library of Congress, the largest library in the world. |
