San Diego Trip Update

Leadership Southwestern is preparing for the wildest rumpus of them all! We’re spreading our wings and setting sail for good ol’ San Diego. We will be serving Mother Nature by working with Mission Trails National Park, cleaning up trails, restoring habitats, removing graffiti, and planting shrubs and trees. What would an outdoor trip be without a little bit of bonding over a group hike? We will also be getting in touch with our inner animals when we visit the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. Because it is peak whale migrating season, a trip to the beach for a bonfire and whale watching is a must. We are planning on getting a bit cultured by visiting San Diego’s historic Balboa Park, complete with museums, historic buildings, and plenty of lush gardens. Of course, no trip is complete without a little bit of shopping at Horton Plaza, San Diego’s outdoor mall and shopping center. A stop off in historic Old Town for some of the best Mexican food in the city is definitely in order. Ships will fly out of Wichita January 5^th and return January 10^th, just in time for a new semester at SC.
