Guest Program
While the ITC attendees are learning new techniques regarding fire investigation, join us for a week of fun, laughs and fellowship. Below are some of the activities planned for the week.
One of the main highlights of the week will be a trip to the City of Brotherly Love. We will be traveling to Philadelphia with a stop at the Liberty Bell and a historical walking tour through Old City. We will also have tastings of the Best of Philadelphia’s food delights to even include Philly Cheesesteak and soft pretzel samples and ending our day in the iconic Reading Terminal Market with some shopping and some time to take in the smells and sights of Philly.
In honor of April being Earth Month, we will be visiting the Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm located right behind Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City. All the towers have an amazing view of the farm from your guest rooms. The wind farm has 380-foot turbines capable of producing a combined 7.5 megawatts of power, enough to power approximately 2,500 homes.
Next stop will be a day spent in America’s Original Seaside Resort town, Cape May. At Cape May, we will visit the iconic Cape May Lighthouse which was built in 1857 and has 199 steps to the top for some beautiful views of the area. We have a stop at the beach planned to go on a hunt for Cape May Diamonds. Will you be one of the lucky ones to find a diamond to take home? We will also take a tour in town to learn about the Victorian architecture of the area, with some free time to explore the three blocks of Washington Street Mall with brick pathways, decorative fountains and specialty shoppes. This is a great place to sit, and people watch or find the perfect souvenir to bring home.
Renault Winery will offer the group a day where we will sample some of their wines, learning the art of sight, smell and tasting of wines which have been produced since 1864. Renault winery is among a select few United States wineries with the privilege to label sparkling wines as Champagne. We will have a historic tour of the winery which will walk you through the Renault Family’s journey from France and how Egg Harbor City, New Jersey became known as the Wine City. One of the highlights of the tour is the unusual collection of wine glasses that fills a whole room. We will also embark on a journey of flavor, artistry and craftsmanship as we delve into the world of charcuterie board creation. Under the guidance of Renault’s talented chefs, you will learn to elevate your charcuterie game to the next level by making your own board.
We will have some free time to shop in Historic Smithville Village where you will find a peaceful place to walk and explore specialty shoppes. The village started as a simple one-room stagecoach stop which now has blossomed into over 50 shoppes. Stroll along the cobblestone walkways and over foot bridges and discover just the perfect memento to bring home to remind you of your trip to New Jersey.
This itinerary is expected, however, events out of our control may necessitate a change or substitution.
We look forward to you joining our adventures for the week. Be prepared to have some fun, relax and make some new friends.
