It's all about balance! Our programs are a great fit for teens who want to get out of their comfort zone and experience a different way of life, but still crave a structured, highly supervised, safe environment. Often, our programs attract students who are drawn to community service--however, this component also functions as a means through which they are able to gain insights into a new culture and global issues such as environmental sustainability or public health. We work side by side with local leaders to identify and implement these projects, which is crucial.

We accept students on a first-come, first-served basis starting in August of the previous year. Enrollment closes two weeks prior to the session start date; however, many sessions fill by early Spring so we encourage families to apply early. Families must submit a multi-section online application, including a $600 USD deposit, self-assessments, two essay questions, and a detailed medical history form; in some cases, a virtual follow-up interview may be required. Applicants should meet our Essential Eligibility Criteria. Our refund policy is based on the date of cancellation. Our Admissions team is happy to answer any questions or guide families through the application process!

Our Mentors and Directors are what we like to call "teen experts": in addition to current CPR/First Aid certifications, a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree, leaders must have years of relevant experience working with teens, whether that be in a classroom, wilderness adventure, or camp setting. We truly run our camp counselors through the wringer when it comes to hiring: background checks, multiple interviews and assessments ensure that we build balanced, competent, and FUN teams to lead our programs and care for students abroad. Over 70% of our staff return from previous years. Many of our Mentors and Directors also hold WFR certification, Masters degrees and other certifications as each programs' activities require.
