Excursion are designed to inspire Explorers to envision themselves as part of the professional and social communities they visit, seeing themselves making a difference while enjoying their every day lives. Each excursion is intentionally crafted to excite, motivate, and activate the imagination of every Explorer. 
Students who qualify for free or reduced priced school meals are encouraged to apply for a travel scholarship.

Highlights: 2017 Summer Adventures
Empowered. Inspired. Enlightened.

Explorers investigated careers in business, science, and technology. At the same time, distant history became very alive as they walked trails of the Underground Railroad and took part in an archeological dig at George Washington's boyhood home. We believe that the blending of cultural, historical, social, and educational enrichment builds strong minded, critical thinking leaders. 
"Every week we do something great. We're learning stuff and we don't even realize we're learning."
-Christopher W, Explorer since 2016

"I know these experiences have opened my daughter's eyes to possibilities she might have never considered." 
-2017 Explorer Parent since 2015

Great Explorations does not promote or restrict participation to those who ascribe to a certain set of religious, social, or cultural beliefs. However, the essence of what we do is rooted in the Christian principles of love and developed character and in the acknowledgement of spirituality as an essential factor of being human.
