Tour Lead, Sweep, and Development Academy
PCA-CHS 2026 Tour & Rally Event No. 1 – Saturday, March 28th
Do you have a great idea for a tour, but weren’t sure how to create the route and plan your tour? Are you interested in leading a tour group, but aren’t sure how to do it? Do you want to improve your skills in leading and sweeping tours and in planning tours?
To help you achieve these goals, Porsche Silver Spring will host the tour academy in their beautiful facility. The morning will start with a continental breakfast followed by several classes focused on leading and sweeping tours, using the radio and the Scenic app, and how to plan a great tour.
We will then break into smaller groups where participants will get a chance to lead and sweep a group of their own during a practice tour. We will end the academy at Restaurant 198 in Burtonsville, MD, where we will enjoy lunch, finishing off the academy with a brief award ceremony.
Your registration fee of $10 per adult includes both the continental breakfast, as well as your lunch.
