Travelers Club, an activity led by parents to provide NJHSA students with experiences that enhance their learning and understanding. We plan field trips for different age groups with different learning focus.
A great opportunity for students to get together with friends and to make new ones. Also a great venue for NJHSA families to get to know one another.
Field trips can take many forms, including visits to museums, historical sites, farms, or other places of interest.
