Teen Tours in North America

"This past summer, I went on my third TFT trip and was once again swept off my feet by the adventure. On each trip, I have made lifelong memories and friends that I will forever cherish and they each have a spot on the ten best experiences of my life. My most recent trip, USA: California and the Grand Canyon, showed me the beauty in my backyard. One of my favorite parts was the bike tour in Santa Monica. It was a great way to explore the area with new friends. I also enjoyed going to the famous Griffith Observatory to watch the sunset and see the City of Angels light up the sky at night. The mix of activities planned for the trip made sure that everyone had something to do that was right up their alley, from sea kayaking to watching a show in Las Vegas! This also allows campers to get out of their comfort zone and try new things, such as surfing lessons. In Arizona, we got more in touch with the Earth and explored Grand Canyon National Park and Antelope Canyon, two of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Travel for Teens has had such a big influence on my life and because of them, I am a traveler, not a tourist."

"I was so lucky to be able to experience a TFT trip. I went to Hawaii on the sea turtle service and adventure. On my trip I met many new friends and created bonds with them which I will forever have. I had amazing role models as my counselors and I felt extremely comfortable with them. This trip all together was really the opportunity of a lifetime. I was able to begin my passion for traveling through this wonderful program. I learned many lessons that I will carry with me for my whole life. This experience was truly life changing and booking this trip was the greatest decision I ever made. can honestly say that I had the best summer of my life in the year of 2019 and that is all thanks to TFT."

"Visiting the West Coast and Canada was one of the best decisions of my life hands down. The National Parks were incredible sights to see. Rock climbing in Utah was the scariest adventure of my life, but so rewarding. I loved white water rafting and Alcatraz had the best audio tour I’ve ever heard. Camping out underneath the stars in Utah and Colorado was beautiful and I cannot imagine having a better experience. I loved the friends I made on the trip and my trip leaders were well equipped for all situations we experienced and amazing people in general. I can’t wait to travel with TFT again!"

"On behalf of Sofia and us as parents, I want to express just how transformative and remarkable Sofia's experience with Travel for Teen was. The program far surpassed our expectations, and we were genuinely impressed by the level of detail and attention you provided throughout the trip. From the daily reports to the captivating pictures, to the well-trained staff, and the well-planned itinerary, everything was executed flawlessly. Each day, we eagerly looked forward to your updates, which allowed us to feel connected to Sofia's journey and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Moreover, we are immensely grateful that we made the decision to send Sofia on this unforgettable adventure. This trip not only provided Sofia with a broad overview of different cultures and unforgettable friendships, but it also offered a unique educational aspect. Sofia had the opportunity to actively participate in learning about the importance of caring for sea turtles, the Hawaiian ocean, coral reefs, and the overall Hawaiian environment. To hear her recount the countless adventures, including her firsthand experiences in protecting and preserving these precious natural resources, was truly heartwarming. It is evident that she has gained a deep appreciation for the environment and a sense of responsibility towards its conservation. Travel for Teen has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on Sofia's life, providing her with an invaluable education beyond the classroom. We cannot thank you enough for instilling in her a passion for environmental stewardship and for providing her with this incredible opportunity. We wholeheartedly endorse and recommend your program to other parents seeking both educational and life-changing experiences for their children."

"With this being Owen's first time away from home in quite some time, we have been so grateful for the level of care and attention that you and the team put into every single detail of the trip. Even with the flight issues at the beginning you managed everything smoothly and ensured they had the time of their lives. It was so great to be well informed every day with emails and photos so we didn't even feel like we had to text Owen at all during the trip. I know he appreciated this independence! Owen had an unforgettable trip to Hawaii, met new people and had new experiences, and for that we can't thank you enough!"

"Over the summer going into my senior year of high school I took a trip with TFT to Hawaii. I wanted to go out of the country, but my mom was skeptical. I honestly decided to go to Hawaii because it was the farthest state away from home for me. Before going on the trip, I never really thought about what I wanted my major to be in college. I can honestly say that TFT gave me the push start on my current major and helped me find my passion. During the trip, we did beach clean ups, learned about sea turtles, and hung out with some local children. I got volunteer service hours while having so much fun. I had the best time and met so many amazing people. I am a freshman in college now studying conservation biology at the University of Minnesota. I still to this day keep in contact with some of the people I met on that trip and I am so thankful I did it. To anyone thinking about traveling with TFT- I highly recommend it."

"Thank you for everything! Josh hasn’t stopped talking about his fun and friends in Canada and his great counselors and bus driver. We’re loving the photos and updates to follow in the adventure!"

"My first TFT trip was incredible. I got to see the various types of beauty found along the pacific west cost from national parks to vibrant cities. Not only were the destinations wonderful but so were the TFT staff. They were immensely caring and fun people to be around. Some of my fondest favorite memories came from those friendships. One of my favorite aspects of this trip was that we were taught to be travelers, not tourists. Where we are encouraged to seek and explore all corners of the earth. I loved my TFT trip and I hope to never stop traveling."
