| NEW JERSEY ALLENDALE The Director Lindsay was extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job. She knew exactly what she was doing. The rest of the staff was caring at all times and made me feel welcome and comfortable. I just wanted to say what an amazing time I had on your Northwestern Odyssey Trip 32. The Staff was amazing and such great people! Thank you for the best summer of my life! And I will be returning hopefully for one of your Europe tours and I have recommended you to many of my friends, specifically saying “Westcoast is the best teen tour out there”! Thanks for the most amazing summer ever! ANNANDALE Ryan had a wonderful experience! We felt very comfortable entrusting our son to you for his first solo trip. Kathy & Alan Marrus BASKING RIDGE I loved our director Lindsay. I had a fantastic time on the tour! BELLE MEAD I really liked building the palm front roof in San Miguel because we found all the materials ourselves, and did everything from scratch and then got to see out work pay off when it rained and our structure kept us dry. I know that when I get home I will no longer take any small pleasures for granted because of the Community Service Belize program. Without a doubt, the service and adventure I participated in made a positive impact on the lives of the local cultures and left me with a summer filled with memories I will never forget. My favorite part of the program was when we completed the playground. After it was done we saw all the kids playing on it, and I felt as though my work had made the community better. I was very impressed with the group of teens that participated in this summer’s trip. They were all highly motivated. BERKELY HEIGHTS I've made lots of new friendships that will go beyond my trip. My summer wouldn't have been the same without Westcoast Connection! Ellie Eick “Westcoast really made my summer great. I enjoyed all aspects of this tour. I am so happy that I came. Thank you!” CALIFON “We just wanted to email you and tell you about our weekend. We had a reunion at our house. 12 kids from Michigan, Maryland, Toronto, Florida, NJ and NY - it was truly amazing. The kids were so happy to be together, so well behaved and couldn't bear the thought of being apart. We have you to thank for it. Katie had the summer of her life, she pushed herself outside of her comfort zone and there she found the greatest group of friends, life long friends. Each mom that I spoke with as we planned our weekend had the same things to say about the summer, the best!!! Thanks again.” CEDAR GROVE JC had a blast and felt totally connected with the group. CHERRY HILL Shelby’s summer was fantastic! The friendships that were made will last a lifetime - we know the great memories certainly will! “We just want to take this opportunity to tell all of you that our daughter Arielle had a wonderful time which of course is what we were hoping for. We felt very comfortable at all times that she was being well taken care of. Thanks again.” “Golf experience was amazing. Courses were wonderful” “Seth had a great summer and as parents we think it is a well run organized organization.” Our tour director was great & did an awesome job. The activities & sights that we saw were amazing and nothing needs to be added to the program. I enjoyed my summer with Westcoast so much that I have been talking about it ever since I returned home. This was the best summer of my life. Our Tour Director worked very hard & did an excellent job. I was impressed with the sincerity of the counselors. If I ever had a problem, I knew I could talk to them. I had a wonderful time on the trip & I just want to thank Westcoast Connection for a great summer. Allison was an outstanding tour director! I thank you for giving Traci another wonderful summer adventure! She is looking forward to next summer’s trip with you! Trip was awesome. You guys are good at this stuff. Jonas was an awesome director and the staff were amazing. Jeff had a great time! It was the best summer ever! Everybody on the tour was nice and open to making new friends. It is a great way to make friends with people all over the country. This was also a great experience because I might never go back to the places I visited. When I came home from the tour I was so sad because I knew I would not be with those people on the same bus again. In the end, this was the most amazing experience ever and I will never forget it. We were very pleased with all aspects of Kate’s tour: the activities, supervision and communication. Our daughter had a terrific summer and made lifelong friends. It was exactly as we hoped it would be – a summer to remember. I had an amazing summer. The food was very tasty, there was always something to eat, always something fun to do. I met great people that I still keep in contact with. I wish I could do this every summer. It was the best experience. Geoffrey recently returned from the Northwestern Odyssey. To say that he had a good time would be an understatement! Geoffrey loved all the places that they visited, but the highlight for him was Banff. He thought it was one of the most beautiful places that he had ever seen! He insists that we see Banff next summer as a family. Thank you for showing Geoff the splendor of the Northwest and making each new experience one that will remain a vivid memory for a lifetime! To sum it up one word, “awesome!” according to Geoffrey. Tour Director Mike was wonderful- fun loving yet responsible. Geoffrey got along stupendously with him. The activities were varied & those that really appeal to teens. He has made new friends- Geoff plans on getting together with several of the new friends next summer or perhaps sooner. He had a blast! Thanks! My son Douglas Cooper absolutely adored the trip. It was a great experience for him an all aspects. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you. Rebecca never cared for traditional sleep away camp, but loved WCC’s outdoor adventure! The outdoor activities, small groups, mobility and respect of “personal space” were perfectly suited to her needs. She enjoyed every minute of it! CHESTER Amazing sights, food, people, and counselors! I met so many people and it was the most amazing three weeks ever! Chelsea Laufer CLIFFSIDE PARK I had such an amazing time! I left with such great memories and friends. Sara Feit Sara’s director was wonderful Hynda Feit CLOSTER We were very pleased with Westcoast Connection.

FORT LEE I would just like to say thank you for the great trip. Zhenia came back very happy and stated that this was the best summer she ever had.

FRANKLIN LAKES Great trip! Carol Stoll “Great summer. Thank you so much.” “Just want to let you all know that my daughter, Jeanne Stoll, had the "best time of her life, and has never been so happy!" The only negative of the entire experience is what she is feeling now, very sad because she misses the people she bonded with in the group so much!! Thanks so much for giving my daughter such wonderful experiences that I'm sure she'll remember for the rest of her life.” Our Director Alli was great - knowledgeable and fun. The staff were the same.

GLEN ROCK This trip was so great! It was such a good experience and I made so many new friends. Emily Prawer I HAD THE BEST TIME EVER!!!! HARRINGTON PARK Even before the trip, the personal attention and concern about Erica’s fit with the group was amazing. Our appreciation for the concern & interest, the personal attention, cannot be described in words. Westcoast Connection has proven to be a classy program. We are very impressed and would highly recommend the company to anyone. “Thank you for taking such fabulous care of Alex. Anthony was really excellent!” HAWORTH Max had a wonderful trip and experience. He had some reservations before leaving, and in the end, wished he could stay longer! Nancy & Kevin Bunin The counselors were all excellent. I really enjoyed having them on my team. I enjoyed seeing all the sights, they were all beautiful. There was always food and no one was ever hungry. I would recommend this tour to all my friends. I plan on going on another tour next year as well. HILLSBOROUGH Westcoast’s outdoor adventure program provided me with enough outdoorsy, roughing-it activities, but there was also a healthy mix of visiting towns and being in civilization. Very good experience with visiting new places, experiencing new things and meeting new people. The Community Service program was awesome. Andy had another great experience with Westcoast. We were very happy with the program. David had an awesome time and made a lot of friends. It was an experience he will treasure for his lifetime. HILLSDALE My Westcoast Connection trip was the best 3 weeks of summer of my life. I had so much fun and made friendships that will last a lifetime!

Jim was outstanding, as well as Mandy and the other staff members. The trip was very well organized and well rounded and a truly wonderful experience for her. Alexis can’t stop talking about her trip to Europe either. She had “the best time ever”, and she had the greatest counselors, Adam, Mo, Anna, and Rachel.

Thank you” Our Tour Director was extremely fair. With the group, he did a great job balancing supervision & freedom. Arielle had a wonderful time. I really don’t know how you do this, but the mix of girls worked very well. This is not an easy task. I had the best summer of my life! I would do it again any time MADISON Jeremy the Director was an extraordinary role model and we all loved and respected him. This was my second WCC trip and though I was positive it wouldn’t, it topped last years trip in everyway. I didn’t make friends, I made family! Seeing beautiful places and taking part in challenging adventures is even more rewarding when 35 of your favorite people are by your side. Thank you for the best 25 days of my life. WCC is an amazing company, and I promise to let anyone I know interested in a Teen Tour about my magical summer on Westcoast Connection. Westcoast Connection is an outstanding organization. This is the second WCC teen tour Melissa has gone on. Each time she had an experience of a lifetime. Seeing new and wonderful places, meeting great kids from all over the country, and building friendships that grow closer and become like family. Melissa’s friends from these trips stay in close contact. They are all missing each other terribly. What a wonderful experience you gave these kids. They get together and unite as groups in different homes and cities. They are always on the phone, talking with each other on the computers constantly reliving the memories of their great experiences together. The tour director and coordinator are phenomenal. They are always there when you need them- they respond promptly to calls and emails. They really take pride in their jobs and in the organization and it shows! I cannot say enough about Westcoast Connection and the incredible life experiences that have given my daughter. If I can ever be of help to any of you, to talk to new participants or parents, I would welcome the opportunity. Your organization is incredible. Thank you and all the directors and counselors for an outstanding job!!! MAHWAH All of the staff was awesome. The food surpassed my expectations. We had plenty of food at every meal. I loved all of the daytime activities. I had a great time. Thanks! After speaking with the office over the summer, they immediately contacted the tour leader. The communication between them and us was not only excellent, but very comforting. Stuart had two wonderful trips filled with the opportunities that both of us wish we could have. We have been very vocal to friends and colleagues regarding your organization and the wonderful trips you put together. Thanks for everything. MANALAPAN I had the best summer of my life. Nothing could compare to this. I loved the leaders and my new circle of friends.” Lacey cannot stop talking about her trip. It was an experience every teenager should encounter, and will never be forgotten. “Our daughter Amanda had a great time. When do the parents get to go away for a month like this? Sounds like it was well worth waiting all school year for.” "It feels good to know that you're doing something important and doing it with friends just makes it that much better." I really enjoyed the California and the Canyons trip this summer MAPLEWOOD Joanna had a remarkable experience. My favorite Community Service project in Belize was building the playground because we actually got to see how it affected the children in a positive way. This trip has changed me by making me realize that all I need to do is put little time and effort and I can change someone’s life forever. The lasting impressions I made with new friendships, experiences and service have changed my life. I never imagined that I could cross such cultural barriers and still feel comfortable with my surroundings. Two years and my son Daniel always says it was wonderful. He has had some of the best experiences of his life. MARLBORO Amazing trip! I loved it! Alex had the best time ever. MENDHAM The program was great. Surfing was awesome.

Eliza liked the variety of sightseeing, the camping, and sports of all kinds, the downtime, the amusement parks, and the cities. We liked the team building with intelligent, qualified counselors. Good communication and good opportunities for communication with each other (for example at the campfires). We came to appreciate that it’s a lot more than pure fun, even though we think the kids think it is. I feel Andy grew up with your help/guidance. We thank you for everything! His experience will be invaluable in his life. We are happy to recommend WCC to anyone – you took VERY good care of our son. I really enjoyed being part of the Californian Extravaganza trip this year. The staff was terrific and so were the activities. Thank you for making this the best summer of my life. MORRISTOWN Dani related to us and always made sure to provide options to please everyone, he is an awesome Director. Rebecca Curwin This is our 4th Westcoast Connection trip and you still amaze us on how you create memories and magic of a life time.

Thanks for a fabulous, well organized summer experience. MOORESTOWN Whitney had an 'awesome' trip, visiting places she studied in European History and doing so in a fun 'kid-oriented' experience (rather than with her parents). Although she went on this trip not knowing anyone, she made great friends that made the trip even better. She loved the activities including the skiing in Zermatt as well as the cooking in Italy.

It proved to be a rewarding experience for him.” “Anthony was an amazing tour leader!” Best summer of Cara’s life, can’t wait for another one next summer!! Gabrielle’s leaders were exceptional role models, very concerned with all the kids’ well being. Surfing & scuba diving were first time activities for me and I loved them! I had an amazing time and met such cool friends that I will always keep in touch with! SOMERSET We were extremely happy with the communication prior and during Melissa’s trip. Every tiny detail was addressed. This gave us a complete feeling of comfort. Thanks. SOUTH ORANGE Rachel had an excellent trip and was sorry to see it end. SPARTA Jeremy the Director was amazing. It was the most amazing summer of my life. I would have done anything to stay longer. We are so impressed (once again) with Westcoast Connection and the way you truly care about the kids! It is just amazing. Absolutely fabulous trip - Counselors and Kids! We didn’t think Heather could have had a better time than last year’s trip with you, but she did! “This is the third teen tour I have been on, my first with Westcoast, and it was by far my best tour. All of the kids were nice, the counselors were great and the sites were amazing. I would love to do another Westcoast Connection trip again.” SUMMIT It was a great trip and it was the best three weeks. The office was very responsive to my many requests. Always handled cheerfully and as if it were no trouble at all. Thanks! SURF CITY For the past two summers I have traveled with your company around the USA and Europe. First I was on the California Extravaganza and this past summer I traveled on the European Escape. I had a fantastic time my first summer and I did not know what to expect for my European journey. The Europe trip far surpassed my expectations. I had the best time of my life. The staff was amazing and I made so many friends. I felt totally safe every place we went, and I learned so much about the sights we visited. Everyday brought excitement and endless fun. Symon, my leader, was excellent. Not only did he make sure that everyone had a great summer, but he also is a friend. He was sympathetic to our needs and always brought smiles to our faces. He really cared about our interested and about making sure that we were having an awesome time. The other counselors were equally great. They worked together wonderfully to show us the summer of our lives. They were also great role models for me to follow. I cannot thank them enough for everything that they have done. I had the time of my life this past summer. Everything was fantastic! TEANECK Helping out and affecting the lives of so many people in a place that I’ve never been to before, showed me that it doesn’t matter where you are, you can always make a difference. I got to experience Alaska to the fullest and have had a great summer. It’s such an amazing experience to not only be in Alaska and see the sights, but also help the community while meeting amazing people. TENAFLY No other experience has gone this far and above my expectations. It was the best 3 weeks of my life! Margo Suder
Our daughter Margo has not for a second stopped talking about her director Sascha. She said he was the most pleasant, fun, funny, and responsible person in the world. Marilyn & Michael Suder It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it! Alli was really nice, enthusiastic, and very approachable. I loved the tour leaders! Briana Balsam At the beginning of the tour I had two friends, and by the end I had 52. Tyler Hechler Westcoast Connection was a life-changing experience. I made new friends with kids across the nation and saw sights I probably would not have taken the time to see. This summer was the summer of a lifetime and I will never forget it. Rachel Gerber “My son Neil Mendelowitz had a fabulous summer! You were a pleasure to deal with as an organization- so well organized in all aspects. Neil would love to go on another trip with you next summer. The pictures were excellent. It was wonderful to be able to see the trip in progress.” Our tour director was a very good leader & was very approachable when needed. The leaders were fun to be around. Not only did Annalise have a great time, but so did we knowing she did. Thank you for a wonderful experience!! Annalise came home safe, relaxed, clean and excited…she wants to go on another tour next year!! We can’t wait to see the photos! It was truly an adventure she will always remember. TOMS RIVER This summer was one of the best of my life thanks to Westcoast. I made so many new friends that I hope to spend my future summers with. This was an amazing experience. Danielle Cohen UPPER SADDLE RIVER Overall Matt had a really great time... he came home with great stories and made lots of good friends. Anne & Randall White Jake had only the most glowing things to say about his director Mike. Sandy & Travis Reid Michael had an amazing time. He had been going to sleep away camp for the past 5 years, and this experience was so much more enjoyable. He had a great group of kids on this tour and his only complaint is that he wanted another week. “We just want to say how much Andrew enjoyed this trip. Although we haven't seen him yet, all his phone calls were so positive. From the kids, to the accommodations, to the awesome golf courses that he would not have otherwise had the chance to play, certainly in 3 weeks time. We believe this was the first trip of its kind on the west coast and it certainly seemed to marry a wonderful trip with truly high quality golf. It was a golf-lover’s dream trip. Thank you for running a great trip.” This was a great summer for Cory. I can sum it up by saying that when he came home, I asked him to rate his summer from one to ten, and without a moment’s hesitation, his answer was a ten. WCC did a truly impressive job. Thanks for this experience. I had a great summer. I had a few doubts before this trip began, but they were all taken care of. I was very impressed by the counselors. The hotels we stayed at and restaurants we ate at were a lot nicer than I expected. Thanks for making it a great summer. A good experience for both my son and his father! It lived up to expectations. Ari was made to feel comfortable with his counselors and made several friends. I was very comfortable after hearing from him the second night of the trip that he was having a great time. Thank you all very much for making it a wonderful experience for him. VOORHEES “Hard to believe that after starting this process over 9 months ago, the trip is over and Ellen is home. We wanted to personally thank you and the entire staff there for everything. Ellen enjoyed herself so much that she is ready to do another one next year. We look forward to seeing Ellen's 500+ pictures!” WALL Thank you for another wonderful experience, we can tell you always put the children first! Marie & Charles Fein WARREN

The experiences and memories of this summer will last a lifetime. Job well done! Jonathan had a fabulous time and came home with great memories.

Jonathan tried both and was extremely successful and we have some fabulous pictures. Thank you for making it such a wonderful experience for him. WEST WINDSOR This summer was rewarding, exciting & I’d have to say life-changing. I loved this trip and will take the memories with me forever.

Michelle & Robert Bodner Our director Dave was awesome. I absolutely loved my Westcoast Connection trip. It could not have been better. It was an amazing summer, so many good times. Stephanie had a terrific time and has excellent memories of a summer where she grew by helping others less fortunate, while also taking time to enjoy a beautiful part of our country. We liked the personal care and attention given both to the tour members and the parents, especially the kick off introductions at the airport. It showed you took the extra effort to get the summer program started on the right footing. Nicole very much enjoyed making a difference in people’s lives. We’re glad you were able to provide that experience for her. “My daughter, Sari Carp had a wonderful time. You guys run a great Teen Tour.” “Everything about Westcoast is first class and professionally run. Starting from the airport departure it was extremely organized and we felt confident our choice was right. Corey thoroughly enjoyed himself and never felt that it was cliquey. The counselors made certain the kids got to know each other. We were thrilled. You should commend yourselves on a job well done. Thank you.” WYCKOFF We were very pleased with the trip. The updates were great. We had the utmost confidence that our daughter was in capable hands all summer. The counselors were wonderful. Lauren truly had a wonderful time!! Thank you. “Thank you for the best summer of my life!” Best trip of my life! Dan & Jen had a wonderful summer and can’t wait to travel with Westcoast Connection again.
