Travel Program Outcomes
Travel is about more than the destination. It can help you become a more well-rounded person, develop essential life skills, and inspire your future. By embracing new experiences, you open yourself up to opportunities for personal growth that are hard to come by in the classroom alone.
Greater Independence & Confidence
Our programs allow teens to experience a greater sense of independence in a safe and structured environment. Encouraging participants to step out of their comfort zone builds confidence at an ideal age where finding oneself is key to personal growth.
Broader Global Perspective
Research shows that developing familiarization with new cultures increases young peoples’ tolerance and respectfulness. It can give them the tools they need to be more accepting of others, raise their awareness of world issues and make them more appreciative.
New Friendships & Lifelong Social Skills
The friendships made while sharing our unforgettable experiences are unlike any other. Our staff are trained to create a comfortable environment where teens can truly be themselves and easily connect with others right from the start.
Inspiration for the Future
According to this study by the Student Youth Travel Association (SYTA), students who travel demonstrate a greater willingness to learn and attend college. Traveling before college can help guide teens' college and career decisions by allowing them to explore their interests and figure out what drives them.
