"Throughout the week, students explore DC and interact with students from all across the country. With the help of our program instructors, students will consider how the people and events represented in DC’s memorials impact their lives today. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, Close Up helps students learn more about their history and government while considering a variety of viewpoints. This keeps students interested, informed, and engaged. They are not just passively listening to a tour guide—they are making a personal connection with the famous places of the nation’s capital.

Close Up participants also take part in interactive seminars with Washington insiders, including journalists, lobbyists, ambassadors, and members of the Armed Services. The highlight of the week for many students is our mid-week Capitol Hill Day, when students and teachers meet with their Congressional delegation on the Hill."
