Who We Are
Since organizing in 2011, the Passport Club of Waynesboro, Virginia has offered international travel opportunities to the students of Waynesboro High School with goals of increasing cultural awareness, emphasizing world languages, and complimenting the educational goals of Waynesboro Public Schools mission statement and the Waynesboro School Board. Our cooperative model of organization provides students with a choice of varying itineraries during their high school experience to some of the most iconic and historically influential destinations in the world.
We believe that working to provide positive cultural exchanges enhances not only the the life of each traveler, but provides the confidence for each student to go experience even more of the world. And in this way, our community is one that chooses to bring our world a little closer together, one passport at a time. Make a point to join us on one of our upcoming tours--because travel is important!

Tim Wion may be found on his bicycle, snowboard, or favorite trail when not throwing the disc or teaching science. The Passport Club of Waynesboro was created to share his perception-altering, life-enhancing passion called "travel" with the students and colleagues of Waynesboro High School. You may have heard him say, "It's not so much where you go, it's that you go which is important," when thinking about his lifetime of learning through travel experiences.
Jennifer Rudolph's passion of traveling has taken her to many countries long before she began conducting school travel ventures. With her father-in-law living in Scotland, a stepdaughter living in Belgium and even a period where she lived in Iceland for four years while her husband served in the Navy on active duty, travel has become a natural for her. With an instinct of travel preparation and getting ready for the little surprises that occasionally crop up, she is most suited for the travel lifestyle and adventures. Jennifer and her husband John are "avid cruisers" and she recently went on a 12 day cruise to the Mediterranean. Also with her being a history buff, this makes her travel desires more exciting.
