SAFETY & FUN

Teens will be able to live the fullest expression of adventurous travel without fear and within a responsibly organized environment.

CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING

Teens will be exposed to new cultures and ideas, and in so doing will develop the capacity to see their own life from a broader perspective.
