Switzerland, Italy
Why Italy?
Farm-to-table may be buzzworthy in the United States, but Italy’s always been a leader in the art of fresh, regional cuisine. As you travel through this Mediterranean country, consider how sourcing and eating local ingredients can make a big difference in our overall health and wellness.

Leadership Conference:
Join teachers and students from around the world in Davos, Switzerland for a three-day leadership conference happening July 10-12 (sold out) or July 14-16 (limited space), depending on your group's selected travel dates. Hear from world-renowned speakers on the Summit theme, attend expert-led workshops, and gain insight into The Impact of Sports & Wellness and everything impacting it today.
