Tracy Roderick -- Program Director and Guide

Academic Expeditions-
​Our Academic Expeditions team professionally infuses academic learning with fun and exciting travel experiences. Our hands-on expeditions take you beyond the school walls and make learning relevant and personal. We believe in the perspective-shifting potential of transformative travel education, and embrace learning while exploring a variety of landmark and cultural destinations.

Meet our Tour Guide/Coordinator: 
Tracy was born in Washington, DC and now resides in quiet Chesapeake Beach, Maryland. Tracy started out in the group travel industry right out of high school by working at her family-owned motor coach company. She later became the operations manager and after 22 years she decided to pursue her love of Washington and American history by becoming a DC Tour Guide. She loves sharing her love of history and the city with groups of all ages! When she is not guiding, you will find her at home with her sweet Golden Retrievers, Kirby & Murph.
