Park Ridge Christian completes whirlwind tour of Patriots Point's education programs

Date

Back in May, 06-08, Park Ridge Christian school arrived at Patriots Point for a round robin tour of all our education programs (I think this was a FIRST). During their time here, they completed the Beach Program, oceanography, aviation and astronomy programs. The leader for the group was Sue Drake (her father was a Naval Aviator and she is a pilot herself) and you can see all her pictures here. They had a great time completing all our programs and a wonderful group to visit us...we look for them back next spring.
