GCL Chicago group activities included in the 2010 program:
Spirit of Chicago: Lunch Cruise
Two-Hour Fun & Festive Cruise - While you dine, enjoy Spirit's fascinating narrated tour of the city's famous waterfront easily seen from the huge panoramic windows. During your meal, be entertained by lively performances from the talented staff and crew. After delighting you with renditions of many popular songs, the cruise kicks into high gear when the Spirit DJ spins your favorite Top-40 hits and you show off your latest moves on the dance floor.
Major League Baseball Game
Take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the American national pastime of baseball. The experience is as much about the atmosphere and socializing as it is watching the action. Try a hot dog and put on your baseball cap as the Cubs try for the win!
Six Flags Great America
The highly popular Six Flags park has a wonderful collection of thirteen coasters that includes everything from traditional woodies to a bone-rattling hypercoaster. But Six Flags isn't just about the thrills. Its Hurricane Harbor water park (included with admission) is huge and includes Skull Island, an enormous interactive water play center. Between the two parks, Great America offers over 75 rides and attractions.
Free Weekend
This is your chance to independently travel, explore, and/or relax. You will have two free weekends (Including one 4-day weekend) to use as you please. You can use this time to explore other activities in your host city or you can travel to any other destination within the United States. Last year, students went to New York, Los Angeles, and Florida on their Free weekends! July 4 is a national holiday in the United States and travel is very popular on that weekend; please keep this in mind if you would like to travel. Your travel and activities for this weekend are not included in your program. You will be responsible for your own travel, accommodations, and activity costs.
