SUMMARY:UHC Williamsburg Trip 2024 - Interest Meeting - Virtual Google Meet
DESCRIPTION:Dear UHC Families: \nIt’s time to start preparing for our Williamsburg Trip March 15-20\, 2024! \n***TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS EVENT\, PLEASE JOIN US FOR VIRTUAL GOOGLE MEET ON NOVEMBER 2nd @ 7:45pm***\nMeeting Link: meet.google.com/iaq-tepw-net \nWe have been working on this planning for quite some time now to give you the best possible pricing on our spring break trip. Once we got deep into our research\, we realized you could get better pricing on several locations via the National Park Pass and/or using your homeschool association membership card. We also worked diligently to get group pricing at a resort right near Colonial Williamsburg\, but they would not agree to what we wanted for a large group. Therefore\, everyone is on their own for lodging and meals. To help you with your planning\, we have compiled a list of local hotels HERE. \nHere is our  Proposed Itinerary: \nDay 1\, Friday\, 03/15/24 – Travel Day. Optional Lunch stop at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park\nDay 2\, Saturday\, 3/16/24 – Jamestown Settlement (morning) and Historic Jamestown National Park (afternoon)\nDay 3\, Sunday\, 03/17/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 1 (this location needs 2 full days to fully explore it)\nDay 4\, Monday\, 03/18/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 2\nDay 5\, Tuesday\, 03/19/24 – Yorktown Battlefield (morning) and American Revolution Museum (afternoon)\nDay 6\, Wednesday\, 03/20/24 – Travel Home or Optional Activity: Busch Gardens \nYou can find additional details\, including pricing HERE. There is much flexibility within this trip for families with children of a variety of ages! If you are teaching American History this year or next\, you can use this trip as a large part of an honors addendum! \nJust a note\, to get the best Colonial Williamsburg pricing (educational group discount) you do need to be part of our group. We will be collecting payments at a later time. \nThis trip has a lot of details that would be impossible to include in one post\, and we anticipate many questions; therefore\, we will be holding a virtual Google meet on November 2nd @ 7:45pm for those interested in this trip. We will go over additional details and answer any related questions. Registration and payment deadline (for Colonial Williamsburg portion) will be posted after we hold our virtual meeting. \nPlease RSVP below for the virtual Google meet.

SUMMARY:UHC Williamsburg Trip 2024
DESCRIPTION:Dear UHC Families: \nIt is time to sign up for our spring Williamsburg Trip March 15-20\, 2024! \n*Deadline for registration is March 7th\, 2024* \nWe have been working on this planning for quite some time now to give you the best possible pricing on our spring break trip. Once we got deep into our research\, we realized you could get better pricing on several locations via the National Park Pass and/or using your homeschool association membership card. We also worked diligently to get group pricing at a resort right near Colonial Williamsburg\, but they would not agree to what we wanted for a large group. Therefore\, everyone is on their own for lodging and meals. To help you with your planning\, we have compiled a list of local hotels HERE. \nHere is our Finalized Itinerary: \nDay 1\, Friday\, 03/15/24 – Travel Day. Optional Lunch stop at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park\nDay 2\, Saturday\, 3/16/24 – Jamestown Settlement (morning) and Historic Jamestown National Park (afternoon)\nDay 3\, Sunday\, 03/17/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 1 (this location needs 2 full days to fully explore it)\nDay 4\, Monday\, 03/18/24 – Colonial Williamsburg – Part 2\nDay 5\, Tuesday\, 03/19/24 – American Revolution Museum (morning) and Yorktown Battlefield (afternoon)\nDay 6\, Wednesday\, 03/20/24 – Travel Home \nYou can find additional details\, including pricing HERE. There is much flexibility within this trip for families with children of a variety of ages! If you are teaching American History this year or next\, you can use this trip as a large part of an honors addendum! \nJust a note\, to get the best Colonial Williamsburg pricing (educational group discount) you do need to be part of our group. Payment must be made at sign up time. However\, refunds are allowed for extenuating circumstances until February 23\, 2024. You are welcome to invite friends and family members\, but please sign them up under your name. \nThe following payment\, which is fully refundable until February 23\, 2024\, is required for registration. This payment includes Registration Fee (one per family) and the 2-Day Pass to Colonial Williamsburg. The rest of the locations are self-pay onsite with various discounts – see additional information HERE.  \nRegistration is now closed.

SUMMARY:SPT 3rd-5th Walnut Grove Plantation Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of Walnut Grove Plantation on Friday\, March 29th at 10:30am-1:15pm. Step back in history as we tour the Manor House\, kitchen cabin\, academy\, grounds\, cemetery and complete a living history activity which will be making a colonial toy! Pack a lunch to enjoy at the picnic pavilion. Cost is $6 per student\, $5 per adult. Must be paid when you register.\nItinerary for the day as follows: \nITINERARY: \n10:30-10:45: Arrival & Introduction – Please park in the gravel parking area just beyond the Visitors Center\nparking lot. The group should remain in their vehicles or in the parking area while the group leader comes\ninto the Visitors Center to check in. A staff member will then come out to welcome the group to the site\, and\norganize your group into two even halves. This process moves more quickly if everyone (ALL students and\nadults) in your group is already divided into halves before you arrive. For the guided tour\, we may further\ndivide the halves as needed. \n10:45-12:15: Guided Tour & Living History Activity – Half of the group takes the guided tour of the Manor\nHouse\, kitchen cabin\, and academy and half of the group completes the living history activity. Then\, the\nhalves will switch. If needed\, restroom breaks will take place during this switch. \n12:15-12:45: Lunch – At the picnic pavilion. Restrooms are also available at the pavilion for the group’s use.\nPlease be sure to take your trash bags to the dumpster after lunch. \n12:45-1:15: Grounds Tour & Gift Shop – On your own\, tour the plantation’s grounds–the outbuildings\,\ncemetery\, gardens and nature trail–usually in about 30-45 minutes. Students must be supervised at ALL\ntimes. If you’re planning to do so\, you may also visit the gift shop during this time. Groups of 10 students at\na time with an adult are allowed in the shop. A gift shop visit makes the trip special and helps us keep our\nadmission fees low. To assist you in this self-guided portion of the visit\, I’ve enclosed a plantation map full\nof historical information to make the grounds tour much more educational. Please copy and distribute to\nchaperones. \n1:15: Departure
