For the last 21 years, AKJU Team America® has taken a team on a magical trip to historic locations throughout Europe. This year’s itinerary is spectacular and includes an amazing visit to historic Amsterdam!
The Netherlands brims with beauty and adventure, from its picturesque windmills and wondrous fields of tulips to its hip, art-centric capital city of Amsterdam. The most populated region of the Netherlands, historic Amsterdam is renowned for its quaint streets and scenic canals. You can take in Amsterdam’s rich tradition of art by touring iconic museums such as the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. The Anne Frank House is another must-see
Then we are off to Dublin for the Irish Cup and additional beautiful sights, food and friendly people. This is a once in a lifetime trip!
The Irish Cup competition is open to all styles and has grown from less than one hundred competitors to over 500 each year. During the tournament, you have a chance to become an “All Irish Award"® winner, which is similar to the AKJU "All American Award"®.
