Teen travel is an opportunity for 13 to 18-year-olds to stretch their independence through a unique travel experience. A teen summer program can be a once in a lifetime event.

Teen summer programs are as varied as the teens themselves. Contact Judy Macnow to find one that's right for you.

Teen Tours

Teen summer tours allow older children to sightsee with their peers. Traveling in the United States and abroad is just part of the fun. Groups also participate in entertaining activites along the way—visiting cultural sites, viewing natural wonders, enjoying teen favorites—swimming at the beach, going out to eat, attending sporting events, shopping, visiting amusement parks and much more.

Academic Enrichment

Many prominent universities and colleges offer educational summer programs with their staff and facilities. These programs are excellent for teens looking for academic enrichment, college credit, or just the campus experience. In addition to the class work, many of the programs offer trips or activities to enhance the knowledge gained from class or use it in the work environment. Programs also offer many additional activities—from sightseeing, day trips, movies, pizza parties, and more—to add up to a rewarding and fun summer experience.

"We were not aware of the enrichment programs until Judy recommended it. What a great idea! My son loved the program. Thanks so much for your help."

Language Immersion

Imagine studying Mandarin in China or living with a family in Costa Rica. Language Immersion programs in the country of origin make that possible. In some programs you stay in residence halls, others in people's homes. A few are even housed in chalets. These programs are as diverse as the dialects in the countries you visit.

"I loved all aspects of this trip and would highly recommend it. It expanded my view of the world. However, the most remarkable part of the experience for me was much more personal. I was truly awed by the kindness of my host family and the whole village. Their love is something I will carry with me forever. I felt I really lived in another culture; I got to see the real Costa Rica and be part of making it a better place."

Community Service

Community Service programs offer a unique opportunity to make a difference in the world. Motivated teens can work on projects ranging from building libraries or playground equipment to saving the sea turtle. Whether in the United States or abroad, the programs also offer plenty of adventure, whether it's hiking up a mountain or snorkeling in the Caribbean.

Wilderness & Adventure Trips

Looking for a more active, once-in-a-lifetime experience? Try an Adventure Program. Biking in the Alps, climbing Mount Rainier, rafting down the Colorado River—Wilderness trips are growing in popularity. Adventure programs vary in difficulty and duration, but even the novice can enjoy the thrill of the great outdoors.

"Wilderness camp was a new and wonderful challenge for me. I always enjoy the outdoors, but did not have any experience backpacking, canoeing, and certainly not mountain climbing. Seeing a side of nature that few get to experience, the physical challenges of the trips, the independence, the risks and the rewards, plus sharing it all with new friends, made this one incredible summer."
