Ten students traveld with the Frank Ski Kids Foundation on an 8-day excursion to Florence, Italy on July 26, 2009.
Each year in July, the Foundation organizes a science competition for children ages 9-11 or 12-14. Entrants are required to create a project or prepare a submission on an assigned topic or theme. The competition calls for logic and common sense, as well as imagination.

Each day is packed with excitement and filled with activities to entertain children of all ages. With the generosity of corporate sponsorship and personal contributions, the Foundation provides children living in and around metro Atlanta with safe, educational and irresistible fun.
