10-Day Paris, Florence, and Venice School Trip with Jeremy Gaboury

1. Paris, Florence and Venice 10 days Led by: Jeremy Gaboury

3. “An amazing school trip! It allowed for independent times where we could choose what we saw or where we went (which is HUGE in high school). The trip helped us create/expand friendships, and experience adventures I wouldn’t have been able to on my own! Best part of the trip: Gondola ride in Venice! You can’t go wrong with 10 days of gelato, travel, and Gaboury!” “I have no idea what to say, it's the best trip ever. You'll make great friends, experience so much, and have the most fun. Will recommend this trip to anyone and I still tell stories from this trip!” “All I know as a parent...is that I want to want to go travel with Jeremy Gaboury just so I can get this experience of a lifetime that I constantly hear stories about. !!!! lol. ... I probably would never pass for 17 though. Thanks for being an extraordinary facilitator for our kids”

4. Prior to trip • Citizenship (in school and in your real life): this is not a school trip, but how you act in school is a reflection of the type of traveler / group member you’ll be…so it all adds up • Review Process--if a student behaves in such a way that the group leaders are concerned that s/he may be untrustworthy on the trip, then the first step will be a meeting between the student, group leaders, and the parents. Any necessary action will be decided at that meeting My expectations
