"The instructors were so much fun to be with. They made everything as safe and as fun as possible. I was as close to the instructors as I was to the students."

We hope this page will answer your most common questions about the summer. As always, please feel free to call our office at 888-954-5555 with any questions or concerns.
Information for Parents of Enrolled Students:
Your child will be able to call you a few times during the Adventure. You can generally expect a phone call when he or she arrives at the airport, again 4-5 days after their arrival, and once more before returning home.
To promote the wilderness aspect of our Adventures, cell phones are collected, and are only available to students on logistics days or traveling days.
You can also mail your child letters during their trip. Check the Student Login page for addresses. Expect two or more postcards from both your child and the instructors during the Adventure.
"Treks Checks" are updates from your student's trip that are posted online every 3-6 days. They often include weather reports, recent meal highlights, and reports from the past few days' activities. They do not typically include photos, as we want to maximize our instructors' time with your child, instead of sitting in a remote internet cafe!
You'll receive automatic updates by email each time a new Treks Check is posted, including a link directly to the update.
