Travel Opportunities

While they complement the School’s academic curriculum and community service program, international and domestic travel opportunities are an integral part of the Storm King experience and add yet another dimension to Storm King’s already vibrant student life.

In past years, Storm King students have broadened their horizons, experienced different cultures, and learned about the natural world on trips to Italy, Costa Rica, Peru, Fiji, Cuba, the Galapagos Islands, New York City, Boston, the Adirondacks, and many other interesting destinations.

All Storm King students are encouraged to take advantage of these exciting, all-inclusive trips during the upcoming school year. As the itineraries, pricing, and dates are being finalized, the School will continue to monitor health and travel conditions and keep the community informed of new developments.
