Our annual FREE, three-day charter bus tour for secondary counselors includes door-to-door visits to Iowa's college campuses, allowing school counselors firsthand insight to better support their students. It's a learning adventure jam-packed with college tours, activities, meals, and overnight stays in hotels and residence halls - and it's all for ONLY $25!

• All lodging, meals, and transportation during the trip are generously covered by host institutions and Iowa ACAC. You’ll only be responsible for personal expenses such as snacks or souvenirs.
• The $25 registration fee renews your high school's Iowa ACAC institutional membership for one year, when even one person from your school participates!

Don't miss the bus - and one of the premier professional development opportunities for high school counselors in Iowa!
