CW Travel Club – Conrad Weiser High School has a rich history with travel and intercultural experiences.  Conrad Weiser, the man, travelled through the Mid-Atlantic region and learned about Indigenous and French culture.  As a club we also understand the importance of travel and learning about different cultures.  CW Travel Club organizes trips so that students can experience other countries, the art of travel and an opportunity to see the places we are learning about in the classroom(s).  Students choose a destination that is of interest.  We contract with a tour company called CHA (https://www.cha-tours.com/) and enroll in an itinerary.  The advisor travels with the students and helps to organize the trip.  We learn about the places we are going to visit before departure.  This is a wonderful opportunity to travel and see other parts of the world.  CW Travel Club students have visited Australia, China, Europe and Costa Rica.  We do help to organize fundraising for students but trip planning is a major part of the CW Travel process.  See Mr. Bright with any questions you may have or if interested in joining.
