MICHIGAN BIRMINGHAM
I had an amazing time, so glad I came. I didn't expect to make such amazing friends & push myself to do the things I did. It was amazing. Alana Balbes Our son Jason had the best time. I had an amazing summer that I will never forget. I loved doing all the activities and was glad that there were so many different ones. Rock-climbing was the best. Climbing on a glacier and skiing in the middle of July was awesome. Thank you! Marissa’s Tour Director was concerned, caring & responsible. WCC is awesome! California & the Canyons had by far the best staff ever! Thank you and your staff for all that you have done for Danny. His phone calls were fabulous; we knew he was loving the trip, the sights, and the new friends he was making. When we picked Danny up from the airport, he could not stop talking about the trip, and his friends, his counselors—all the way home-we had to get his pictures developed immediately. He told us “This was the best three weeks of his life!” When we got home I walked past his room, he was already on the phone planning a reunion before school. Last night he made reservations to go to Washington D.C. where the boys from Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and hopefully the girls from Canada will all meet next week. Thank you for a life changing experience for Dan…and my family. BLOOMFIELD HILLS

Now both Amy and her brother love talking about the places they went on their Californian Extravaganza Westcoast Connection trips. Everything was great! This was the best summer of my life!

Between the people I met and the things I experienced, this was incredible and I will have these memories forever.

The trip was superbly coordinated thanks to an excellent director and a great itinerary. I had an unforgettable time. We cannot tell you how pleased we are. Alex had the most amazing trip. He has made great friendships with kids from all over North America and said the counselors were great. Westcoast Connection was definitely one of the best things we could have ever done for our son The California and the Canyons trip was amazing. It went above and beyond my expectations.

Thanks for your patience with questions - we always received an immediate response. This summer was amazing! I met a lot of really cool people and saw lots of cool places. The counselors made the trip even more fun! Emily loved the trip. She was a little nervous about going by herself, but it turned out on her trip most of the kids came alone. The group had a great time together or in smaller groups…Emily gained the confidence to do activities she’s never done before, and also the confidence in traveling by herself and becoming part of a new group. Thanks for a wonderful trip; most importantly a safe trip. Matt had an amazing time. Something he will never forget! He made a lot of good friends. An unbelievable experience! He loved it! Dan really enjoyed himself on the trip. It was a very positive experience for him. Wonderful trip for Michael! Great accommodations, fantastic sites. This was a great experience for Andrea. She learned some valuable lessons about herself. It really begins to prepare kids for leaving home, going to college, and being independent of their parents. It was the best summer of my life. Zachary had “the time of his life”. The friendships he has made from this experience is wonderful. The kids talk a lot since the trip. The activities were incredible. If they have a trip like this for married couples you could sign us up. Thank you for a wonderful, adventurous summer for our son. Carly made new friends and had a lot of fun. The trip was the best 18 days of my life. The counselors and campers were amazing. I’ve never ever had more fun. Gabe had a terrific staff, itinerary & trip guides! I had the greatest summer of my life because of the unbelievable programs and staff. Thanks so much for the best summer of my life. Good combination of kids. Happy to see that all the kids were the same grade level and could relate well to each other. Terrific learning & growing experience! Lisa had an amazing experience on her trip. Her trip leaders were wonderful. Our son Michael was on the same trip 5 years ago and still talks about how great it was. Thank you! We were so pleased with Michael’s trip. Everything that was explained to us was carried out! Thank you! I can’t thank Westcoast enough for showing me Europe like no other trip. It was an experience of a lifetime I will never forget! The staff was so helpful and made me feel comfortable and safe in a foreign country. They truly made me get over all my fears of leaving home and traveling across the country. The Europe trip was unreal!! Alana returned from Europe with a wonderful sense of art and history. You are a classy outfit! Great people, plenty of food, great sites, awesome trip! I had such a wonderful summer with Westcoast Connection! Meeting new people and seeing new places were memories I will cherish forever. This was an amazing summer that I will never forget. Also, Scott was the BEST leader! Thank you Westcoast. Lisa had a wonderful experience on her trip. She said nothing negative about anyone or anything. Her trip leaders were wonderful and the small amount of kids added to having an amazing time. Our son Michael was on the same trip 5 years ago and still talks about how great it was. Thank you! This has been an amazing and unforgettable summer. Thanks to all the people who made it possible. | ||||
