Local and world travel broadens experiences, challenges skills and builds independence. Opportunities start small and often culminate in experiences that many of our student travelers have found to be transformative.

Local Theater

The Cal Shakes trip includes a picnic dinner and a play. The Berkeley Rep Theater trip includes dinner at a Berkeley restaurant, a play, and an overnight stay at a nearby hotel.

Ashland Shakespeare Festival

Winter Abroad

Travel the world! Spend winter break immersed in the culture of a foreign country chaperoned by Orion staff. Our optional Winter Abroad program provides students real life opportunities to practice independent living and pragmatic language skills.
