August Update From TFT Headquarters

Thank you to all of the families and teens who made 2022 the summer we all dreamed of and needed. Summer 2022 may almost be over but summer 2023 is already on the horizon.

We encourage all families to read the updates on this page and/or watch our end-of-summer video regarding all of the important end-of-summer items and how to prepare for summer 2023!

Trip Photos

You can find all of the free watermarked 2022 trip photos here with the join code TFT22. Select view photos if you do not wish to get unlimited downloads and matches of your traveler sent to your phone. If you enrolled in Waldo Photos to get unlimited high-resolution downloads, make sure you’re logged in and start downloading! Or join now by texting TFT221 to 735-343 to get started. If you pre-paid directly to Travel For Teens and haven’t finished setting up your waldo account, please email help@Travelforteens.com for assistance.

Downloading on mobile:

In the Waldo app open the album from your teen’s trip. You’ll see a download icon in the upper right, next to the title. You can select either matches or all, then select individual photos or tap “select all”, then tap “save” and they will download to your device. If you are in the app, you have access to download all of the images in high-resolution at no cost.

Downloading on your computer:
Go to waldophotos.com and click Login in the upper right. Enter the phone number that you used to register for Waldo and click Send SMS. Enter the code that was texted to you in the prompt.

If you need assistance with Waldo you can also reach out to their support team at support@waldophotos.com.

If you cannot find the certificate in the folder or if there is an error on the certificate, send an email to help@travelforteens.com and we can help locate it for you right away.
