Discover the adventure of Israel on a trip organized for students at military academies and ROTC Cadets.
Join us to explore Israel’s natural beauty, 3,000-year history, and colorful cultural traditions. And as an active experience, you’ll be spending less time on the bus and more time on the go discovering the past, present and future of this remarkable land.
This special program is for cadets in the military academies as well as ROTC students and their friends nationwide. Travel with an extraordinary group of young adults with a shared background – and meet up with a group of Israel Defense Forces soldiers along the way. Explore the very best of Israel while also benefiting from special experiences – visits to military bases, meetings with Israeli officials, and opportunities to learn about current defense issues in the Middle East.
Through the course of this 10-day journey you’ll form new friendships with Israeli and American peers, experience all the must-see/must-do highlights, and return home with a new sense of perspective and wonder.
