Travel With Olivet

Take in the rich history and traditions of England & Scotland while making the occasional stop at some of the most formative sites in Christian heritage. We will get a glimpse of many formative moments of our faith in retracing our protestant heritage in the UK. Enjoy fantastic sites and breathtaking views while traveling with Alumni & Friends of Olivet.

We will be guided through the UK by Ann Carr who draws on thirty years of experience and tourism. Her travel mantra is inspired by the final lines of the poem Leisure: “A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.” We are also honored to have Dr. Kent & Beth Olney joining the group. Dr. Olney will provide commentary and insights into the life of John Wesley and provide moments of spiritual teaching during our tour. Dr. Olney is an ordained minister in the Church of the Nazarene and is Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at Olivet.

**Note: For six of our nights together, we will be staying at a Manor or Castle without air conditioning in your room. Nightly low temperature averages in the mid-50’s, and daytime temperatures average 65-71 degrees. There is always a possibility of warmer or cooler temperatures.
