Over the years, groups from Chrysalis have taken international adventure trips to locations across the globe. These optional trips help our girls develop a greater awareness and appreciation of other cultures as they perform service work in places like schools, orphanages and parks. Students have the option of earning academic credit for participating in these foreign expeditions.
We've taken European trips over the years to Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, England, Scotland and Ireland. Other adventure trips have been to Peru, Costa Rica, Belize, Vietnam, Mexico and Tanzania.
What's your favorite memory of a Chrysalis international adventure? We'd love to hear your comments.

Soccer at Chrysalis
Athletics are an important part of the Chrysalis experience. Our team travels to play other female teams in places like Whitefish, Montana.
Soccer teaches Chrysalis students important lessons like the value of teamwork and the value of getting better at something through practice. The sport helps the girls bond and stimulates their communication skills as they talk to each other on the field and during practice.
Chrysalis students come from different states and different backgrounds, but on the soccer field they focus on a single mission: working together to become the best team they can be.
