Our programs are meticulously designed for the teen traveler who wants more than just a bus tour; they are for those who crave hands-on experiences and authentic exploration.
From the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone to the surf-ready beaches of Southern California, and from the tropical reefs of the Florida Keys to the vast glaciers of Alaska, you’ll discover the incredible natural and urban diversity that makes America unique. Snorkel with manta rays at night in Hawaii, go whitewater rafting in Montana, explore the Grand Canyon by off-roading vehicle, and make a real difference through meaningful marine conservation service. This is your chance to see the USA like a local, not a tourist.
