Get Ready For Spring Break 2010!

Students enrolled at CIP have the option of attending a fun and educational travel program one week a year during the college spring break in March. This year CIP students will diverge across the world to Ireland, Hawaii, Washington D.C. and a Caribbean Cruise!

Students prepare for this trip through a series of class meetings in which they study the language, arts, culture and trip itinerary. Each year an exciting new world destination is chosen and students get a cultural experience they will never forget with staff and their peers.

Part of the spring break experience is participating in community service in the area being visited. Besides assisting those in need, this experience instills leadership and develops character.

Spring break is an excellent opportunity for students to travel and broaden their horizons in a safe, supervised atmosphere.
