You asked for more non-ski TSC Trips. We listened and now you have a great new summer travel option to a part of the country TSC does not typically visit. This New England adventure has stays at two cities (2 states) – 3 nights in Providence, Rhode Island  and 4 nights on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It‘s really nice to be somewhere long enough to make unpacking worthwhile! From these locales we will branch out to nearby sites each day. Our daily excursions cover a broad array of interests from the historical (really old like 1620!), to over the top residences of the rich and famous, to relaxing, beautiful beaches with lobsters and lighthouses.

Flights:

Collette offers air into Providence and return flights out of Boston. Or choose to book your own air. Your local ski clubs will have the specifics of your flight schedule.

Lodging:

In Providence, the hotel is very well located for getting around on your own during free time and in the evenings.

Cape Cod Waterfront Resort | Sea Crest Beach Resort

The hotel is set along the white sands of Old Silver Beach. A favorite for generations, the resort is rooted in the rhythms of the Cape-where beach days stretch long and sunsets linger.
