Applications Open For Summer 2025 Programs
We have opened applications for two summer programs for 2025.
These programs are open to students of High School age and generally run 8 days from departure to return. They include 5 nights in Normandy, France and 2 nights in Paris. The programs we have opened for applications are scholarship programs, so what that means, is that if your student qualifies, the $2500 fee is paid for, and we will assist your student in raising the money for their airfare to Paris, France, which we do not cover. Click on the photo to the right to apply.

Alumni Update!
Arden Walker is a 2015 Graduate of our program!
In 2015 Arden Walker was a graduate of our inaugural program to Normandy, and was one of the lucky early students that was able to accompany WWII veterans.
Arden graduated from High School in Denver, CO and received a scholarship to Missouri for football. After a season there, he decided to transfer to the University of Colorado where his father, Art Walker was also a star. He plays on the defensive line for CU and is active in the community in Denver and Boulder. He's also very interested in fashion and marketing and excels at both.
To the left, Arden's team photo is pictured above a photo of him at Omaha Beach with Joe Scida, a Navy WWII veteran who deposited troops on that beach on D-Day. Joe Scida recently passed away and was a wonderful gift to all that knew him.
