The staff did an amazing job. We enjoyed this trip. It was so relaxing knowing we could stay until the park closed and did not have to drive back home.

It was a good trip for my son and he had a wonderful time. However, I was not pleased about the main coordinator leaving the trip at the end without any warning provided to the parents. Additionally, I felt like the kids guidelines were a little extreme for 13-14 year olds. Overall, I was happy with the trip and the overall experience. Will recommend to other parents.

Excited to be back from an unforgettable journey with my teens (Semira & Jayla)! We traveled to Detroit, Michigan from Los Angeles, California for an HBCU Black Empowerment Tour. They traveled to several historically black colleges and landmarks. I was really impressed with the level of planning and safety rules enforced by Crystal and the other staff members and volunteers. All along the way they stopped for bonding activities, amusement parks, mixers, presentations and even a sneaker ball. They both came back with tons of keepsakes, pictures and stories to tell. 🥰💖💝 lol. I would definitely recommend this trip for all high school students aspiring to go to an HBCU for its rich history, experience and culture! #SpringBreak2024 #HBCUTour #familybonding #detroitmichigan #blackisbeautiful #blackexcellence
