Thu, 02/25/2016 - 9:05am

During this field trip students of the Hotel and Restaurant Academy received a full tour of Turf Valley Resort, which includes the hotel, restaurant, meeting spaces and banquet spaces. They also participated in a relay type competition where they had to make a bed, set a banquet table, display their knife skills, maneuver a luggage cart through an obstacle course and come up with solutions to some issues during a wedding event. The students enjoyed lunch at the resort as well and the level one students ended the day seeing how a hotel room is inspected by the housekeeping supervisor and then inspected a couple of rooms on their own. The three advanced HRMA students who were on the field trip were able to shadow an empoyee of the resort in the area of interest they are planning to pursue a career in. One spent the day in the restaurant kitchen, one spent the day in the banquet kitchen and the third spent the day at the front desk of the hotel.
