Travel For Teens offers, quite simply, the trips of a lifetime. We are the ONLY teen travel program which bridges the gap between classroom learning and touristic teen tours, offering the best features of each. We offer balance, providing the freedom teens crave with the security parents require, the fun teens seek with the substance parents demand. Our highest emphasis, however, is on safety and security.

Further, we feature doing, experiencing and understanding rather than merely seeing. We feel that non-judgmental immersion in other cultures is not only valuable and enriching, but fun. Travel for Teens features coed summer travel for teens ages 13-18. Each age group will have peers with whom to spend time. Our summers are designed in modules so that families can select the combination of trips, or the single trip, that is most appealing to each participant. Two of our philosophical hallmarks are choice and flexibility, so that every participant can design the trip of a lifetime for him or herself, while still traveling with a peer group. Our travelers emerge as International citizens, not tourists.

Travel For Teens's Mission Statement: Travel for Teens believes that teen travel should be both fun and enriching. Our programs feature choice in what you do, see, and experience, a dynamic that sets us apart from superficial tours that herd large groups from one site to another. We visit the best of the mainstream attractions while offering the opportunity to explore the culture from a less touristy perspective. We interact with our host cultures, taking cooking and dance lessons, performing valuable service work to help local communities, and conversing with the people who have spent their lives living in the places we journey to. We have crafted our unique programs to engender love for travel, hunger for learning, curiosity about differences, appreciation of similarities across cultures, and an understanding of what it means to be a global citizen.
