Community — Student Travel
Trips.
At Storm King, the classroom stretches from the Hudson Valley to the far side of the world. Our 2026–2027 travel program sends students beyond borders and comfort zones — into new languages, landscapes, and friendships — with classmates at their side and faculty leading the way. Cultural immersion, service learning, leadership, and pure adventure, folded into journeys our students retell for the rest of their lives.
Adventure is part of the curriculum.

Five journeys. One school year.
Below is an overview of the trips currently being offered. Please note that some trips, especially the Thanksgiving Break trips, have a July 15th sign-up deadline.
One country. Two incredible worlds. One unforgettable adventure.
Spend Thanksgiving break exploring the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires before venturing to the breathtaking glaciers and mountains of Patagonia. Learn to dance the tango, prepare authentic Argentine dishes alongside local families, hike through some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, and immerse yourself in a culture unlike any other.
Along the way, students will participate in meaningful community service, build lifelong friendships, and enjoy free time to relax, discover charming cafés, and shop for unique local souvenirs—all while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
This 8-night cruise departs from Manhattan and travels to Port Canaveral (including a visit to Kennedy Space Center), Nassau, and a private island in the Bahamas.
Students will enjoy warm weather, relaxation, sightseeing, and quality time connecting with peers while exploring the Caribbean.
A school of the world, at home in the Hudson Valley.
Imagine landing in Tokyo—one of the world’s most electrifying cities—and, within days, exploring ancient temples, searching for anime collectibles in Akihabara, and standing at the foot of iconic Mount Fuji before hiking through its legendary Five Lakes region.
Over 16 unforgettable days, you’ll travel by bullet train to the beautifully preserved Edo-period town of Takayama, where samurai history comes to life, relaxing hot springs await in the Japanese Alps, and an optional ski adventure is just moments away.
From the mountains, the group will head to the all-inclusive Irago Ocean Resort for three days of coastal relaxation and time to recharge before continuing to Kyoto, where thousands of crimson torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine and the soaring Arashiyama Bamboo Forest create unforgettable moments.

Highly recommended for juniors beginning their college search—but open to all students.
