The boys at Chaminade explore an urban playground and discover the ideas and innovations that have revolutionized America over the last century during Chaminade’s four-day Urban Experience Trip to Chicago, Illinois.
The Windy City
Chicago is a bustling Midwestern metropolis that nearly three million people call home. A multitude of museums, dynamic attractions and landmarks, and plenty sports, arts and culture to experience make this city a standout option for Chaminade’s boys to learn, explore and become inspired.
Accomodations
The seventh grade boys are under continuous guidance from Chaminade teachers. The boys will share rooms at a clean, comfortable hotel in downtown Chicago and travel the city together with their Chaminade chaperones.
Out and About
With endless opportunities for work and play, the boys have a schedule of activities that is nearly as packed and busy as the city of Chicago itself, including:
· The Museum of Science and Industry
· Chicago Field Museum
· Shedd Aquarium
· Chicago Art Institute
· Soldier Field
· Millennium Park
· Buckingham Fountain
· John Hancock Building
· Gino’s Chicago-Style Pizza
