Here are a few more details about the trip that may be of interest to you as you consider spending your spring break in New York city.

  • We will be flying to NYC.
  • The majority of your time in NYC will be planned as part of the Vision Trekk process. However, you will have 2 nights (in addition to your free day on Friday) to explore the city. For safety, there will be a curfew and we ask that you go in groups of at least 3.
  • Pack light! Trust us, you'll be happy you did. In addition to one moderately sized suite case, you will need to bring a small backpack or day bag for our daily excursions.
  • Cameras are encouraged!
  • We encourage you not to bring homework!
  • If you have special dietary needs, please talk to us before we leave. While there are many options of places to eat in New York, finding a place to accommodate a group our size will be difficult.
  • Plan to be moving a lot. Each day will encompass a minimum of 5 miles of walking. This won't be done all at once, but you will get lots of exercise.
  • Due to the time of year we are going, the weather can be unpredictable. Plan for cold and rainy as well as warm and sunny.
  • All payments must be in before we leave. Please talk to Nathan Freeburg to make other arrangements.
