Students at past classes have enjoyed exploring Olympic Park, where the 2002 Olympic Games were held; stopping by East High School, the location where High School Musical was filmed; visiting the historic Temple Square, and exploring historic Main Street in Park City. Over the four-day weekend, students will spend time in Salt Lake City, Park City, Orem, and Provo.
