We believe life is an adventure and you've got to hop on rather than watch it go by. Our approach is to keep active but also knowing when to take it easy with restful days on the beach, and evenings around the campfire. Students participate in a wide variety of daytime recreational activities. When the sun goes down, we'll go to comedy clubs, dance clubs, TV tapings, crazy karaoke, baseball games, movies, bowling, mini golf and virtual reality. Trips travel throughout North America, Canada, Europe, Costa Rica, Africa and Australia. Trips range from 18-42 days, for students ages 13-17 (in coed age compatible programs) with a separate program for students ages 17-19.
