What time does the van leave?
The van picks students up at Eisenhower Circle on Friday at 6 p.m. The van leaves Philadelphia at 2 p.m. Sunday.
What do I do while I'm there?
You determine your experience. Search for weekend happenings in Philadelphia and ask your friends at MCPC to make suggestions. The museums and markets are a great way to explore the city.
What do I pack?
Students will need to bring their own toiletries and items for sleeping, unless otherwise arranged with their MCPC student hosts. Comfortable shoes are always a good idea for exploring the city.
Can I drive the van?
