Covid-19 Information

COVID-19 has impacted all of our lives in so many ways; while we are still left with many unanswered questions, here are some things we do know for certain: We will not take our participants or our leaders on a program if we are not in a situation to both adequately care for them and provide them a fantastic experience.

We have worked with the CDC, pediatricians, epidemiologists, and the American Camp Association (ACA) to develop protocols for reducing risk and handling COVID-19 on our programs. Through those efforts we were able to devise a robust "playbook" relating to all protocols and procedures to mitigate exposure risk to COVID-19 as much as possible.

We utilized this playbook in both the summer of 2020 and 2021 wherein we successfully led participants on across a range of programs domestically and internationally. We are proud to have experience running fun and meaningful programs while also prioritizing the safety of all participants throughout the pandemic.

We are constantly learning more about COVID-19 and are updating our protocols for summer 2022 to fit the most current research. We will continue to educate ourselves, and our Summer 2022 COVID-19 protocols and procedures will be finalized as the summer nears. In previous summers, we have asked participants to adhere to a combination of pre-trip testing, social distancing, and mask use at appropriate times during programs. In 2022, we will require a Covid-19 vaccination for all participants 16 and older, and for all international trip participants.

Amid this strained period of isolation, we owe it to our youth to continue to provide programming. We will build upon our experience over the past two summer and utilize our protocols and procedures to offer programming throughout the coming months and into the summer of 2022.

If you or someone you know would like to discuss our program experiences and what steps we are taking to run our programs, we invite you to reach out to us. Please call us at the office (773.342.5200) or email us (info@theroadlesstraveled.com).

About

The Road Less Traveled’s mission is to provide our travelers with a life-changing experience by offering them the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most extraordinary places, make meaningful contributions interacting with native people, break down barriers, and serve the goals of a community that welcomes us. We fully understand and embrace the importance of being responsible travelers: Of being respectful to each and every person in any community, and to remember that we are the visitors. We take very seriously the ethic of honoring, preserving, and sustaining the natural environment in which we live, fostering environmental stewardship.

Our trips are designed to develop and to enhance self-confidence, teamwork, leadership qualities, and to help our travelers develop their own vision of service. We encourage involvement, cultivate leadership, excellence, openness, and sensitivity, and inspire initiative, communal participation, social activism, and environmentalism. We make an impact as we encounter a range of issues: the environment, poverty, health, immigration, conflict resolution, education, and more. As we learn to speak out for justice, working alongside young and old, rich and poor, we get to see how our actions make an impact in the world and on one another.

Our travel destinations include: Costa Rica, Tanzania, the Galapagos, Azores (Portugal), Mallorca (Spain), Iceland, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexica, American Northwest, Utah, Maine, Alaska, British Columbia, Hawaii, Florida, Wyoming, and Colorado.
