We had an early start Monday, June 17, as students met in the Sioux Falls airport for what was supposed to be a 5 a.m. flight to Minneapolis on their way to the Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Unfortunately, thunderstorms that struck the area led to a handful of delays out of Sioux Falls. By the time we landed in Minneapolis, our next flight was taking off. This gave seven WCS students an experience of a long lay-over in an airport that they would encounter again before arriving home at the end of the week. WCS students Jhett Breen, McKenzie Fuchs, Aubrey Medricky, Justyn Jaton, Matthew Kokes, Brooklin Nielsen and Kortney Ehrisman spent five days experiencing hands-on learning experiences as they navigated through airports, the nation’s capital city and the largest city in the nation.
