Since the creation of the CRYSC International Program in 2022, over 600 CRYSC players, families, and staff have joined us to experience trips of a lifetime! Travelers have walked in the footsteps of world-renown footballers at Old Trafford, cheered alongside passionate Athletico Madrid supporters at a Champions League match in Madrid, served local communities in Costa Rica, and immersed themselves in the history, culture, and landscape of countries around the world. To continue providing those opportunities for our membership, we are pleased to announce the first trip destinations and details for 2025.
