A Rogue Squad is a small group of students accompanied by a couple of counselors. On some of our evenings we break up into Rogue Squads and go nuts exploring each city! Curated destinations, famous spots, locals-only zones that speak to the local community… foodie destinations… awesome.
Nothing could be more different than Washington DC, Los Angeles, Austin, Seattle, and New York City. Yet what makes them the same is our students get to go out and experience as much as possible… and often get to pick the destination inside of our commitment to Rogue Squads!

For example: A group of kids plans this trip: a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry to pass by the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, relax in Battery Park, shop in SoHo, and end in Little Italy to eat pasta and cannolis.
Another group of students may want to go shopping, and check out stores in Soho. This group will pop in and out of clothing stores like Brandy Melville or Nike, Supreme, or even MAC or Urban Outfitters, then grab a famous dessert from Dominique Ansel Bakery, and finish off the day with a selfie photo shoot in Washington Square park!

Disclaimer: students don’t get to do ‘whatever they want to do’ as we honor student requests within reason. Nothing unsafe or not possible. Students are welcome to research places they would like to visit, food to try, and fun happenings around the city. The students group up, and a couple counselors will join them in their adventure. Our counselors are all familiar with our host cities – so we can help make any Rogue Squad plan come to life.
