Just returned from the Big Island of Hawaii, with my son and about 80-90 other students and other chaperones. We had a blast! All the activities were kid friendly! We saw amazing sites and had lots of great food and fun! Definitely worth it!! Amy L.

Do you offer fundraising/payment plan guidance?
Yes! And we also have a crowdfunding option. Allows students to raise funds from friends and family.
How do you handle dietary/medical needs?
When you register for the trip, we ask about any dietary restrictions and allergies - we use that to ensure that the restaurants are aware and can provide plenty of options. Medications are handled by the school and/or trip leader.
