Imagine standing where empires rose and fell. Exploring ancient streets that have shaped the modern world. Experiencing breathtaking architecture, incredible food, unforgettable culture, and memories you'll talk about for the rest of your life.
The UHS Summer Travel Series invites Umatilla High School students, families, and alumni to travel together on an incredible 10-day adventure throughout France!
This is more than a trip. It's a chance to see the world beyond the classroom, make lifelong memories with friends and family, and experience a destination that most people only read about in books.
The best part? Nearly everything is included in the cost of the trip: airfare, hotels, transportation, guided tours and attractions, educational experiences, and most meals. The only things you'll need to budget for are a few meals and souvenirs.
Every year, people hear about opportunities like this and think, "Maybe next time." Then they see everyone else's photos. They hear everyone else's stories. And they wish they had gone. Don't let that be you.
Whether you're a current Bulldog, a parent, grandparent, sibling, or proud UHS alum, you're invited to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
📍 Learn more and reserve your spot today: https://my.passports.com/login?g=RSTOKES2027
The countdown has already begun. The question isn't whether this trip will be amazing.
The question is: Will you be there?
