30 years ago, we began with a simple philosophy of “Each & Every” – a determination to balance exceptional individual attention within a positive group experience. It is not simply a trip but an experience. We understand something far more important than where to go and what to see and that is YOU. We use our 30 years of experience to make sure that every day of every program is socially comfortable and truly fun-filled for every single participant.What travelers love so much about our programs is the opportunity to make new friends.

We are celebrating our 31st summer running incredible programs for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18. Trips range from 10 to 40 days with travel in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Costa Rica, Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands and 12 other amazing countries.

We offer different types of programs depending on what you want to accomplish this summer Our Active Teen Tours combine the excitement of travel with visits to National Parks, exciting cities and the best recreation. Imagine skiing and snowboarding in Whistler Blackcomb, surfing in San Diego, SCUBA diving the Great Barrier Reef or visiting unforgettable cities like Paris, Rome San Francisco and Chicago. Our Community Service programs offer teens the chance to volunteer with well-established organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Boys & Girls Clubs. These trips feature a great balance of service, adventure and touring! Our Language Programs will help you improve your Spanish or Mandarin by immersing you in the local culture thus improving your ability to communicate and your confidence speaking. We offer programs with and without classes. Our Pre-College Enrichment programs offer the perfect balance of study, immersion and activity highlights in Barcelona or Florence. You’ll study at an internationally renowned school while living in the heart of a major city. You can choose from incredible electives ranging from digital photography to sports marketing or SAT Prep with the Princeton Review while at the same time enjoying weekend excursions throughout Spain and Italy. Lastly, our Global Adventures provide a more intimate dynamic and allow for more challenging adventures in Western Canada and New Zealand or for more spontaneity and flexibility on our Backpacking programs throughout Europe.
