Seattle Spring Break 2026

What an unforgettable weekend in Seattle! Our Bridge Idaho Upward Bound students explored college campuses, discovered career paths, and built lasting friendships along the way. From city views to campus tours, every moment was a step toward future goals and new possibilities. 🎓✈️

These trips are more than just travel — they’re about expanding horizons, building confidence, and helping students see what’s possible for their futures. And Seattle definitely delivered. 💛🖤

Thank you to our amazing students for representing Bridge Idaho so well and making this trip one to remember!
