Getting to Cascadia

Traveling to a new place for the first time is a magical adventure for a teen.  No matter whether the trip is within the region or to the far corners of America, students heading to a Cascadia course typically are burning up with excitement as they experience a bit of independence and anticipate the adventures ahead of them.

Once enrolled our admissions staff will assist every student in their travel planning -- getting them to and from their course.  They will receive information on travel identification requirements, flight planning, and other travel guidelines.  Every student will be met at the arrival airport by a Cascadia staff person.  Before your course begins we will send you a Cascadia T-Shirt to wear on arrival day.  Your instructors will be wearing the same t-shirt, so it will be easy to find each other.
