A GSHE member is looking to work with other families to organize a homeschool group(s) for the Washington DC Close-Up program. It is a multi-day trip to Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Colonial Williamsburg, or Washington DC. The high-school program runs Sunday through Friday and the student tuition ranges from $1,250 to $1,500 pp depending on the week. The middle-school program runs Sunday through Wednesday or Thursday and the tuition is $1,150 to $1,315 pp. The adult chaperone program fee is $350 above the student cost, but they have a discount of 10% for every student that participates. Close-Up also has a limited financial-aid program for students in financial need. Please contact Charleen Osborne by late July if you are interested in helping organize this opportunity or for your student to participate. This is not a GSHE sponsored event, but we hope to help facilitate the opportunity for the NH homeschool community.
Important dates:
Early-bird discount – 7/28/21
