Teen summer travel · Ages 11 to 18 · ACA accredited · WFR-certified leaders
Since 1991, our teens have taken the road less traveled — discovering the world, serving local communities, and growing into their best selves.
Teen travel that pushes teens to grow through service & adventure.
Caring for elephants at an animal sanctuary in Thailand, summer 2022.
My son went on two summer trips, and we’re so grateful for all he gained...close friends, strong role models, confidence, a broader worldview, and the chance to give back.
Rooted in service, committed to safety, and small by design.
Each trip is rooted in service – meeting real needs, supporting locals, and making a lasting impact.
We could list our safety accreditations, but instead... in 34 years, there’s never been a serious injury. Not one.
Being small is our superpower. It means we have high leader-to-teen ratios and know every family personally.
