From our first trip exploring the western USA and Canada, we could never have imagined how many thousands of teens would come to share in our spirited groups and travel with us on 7 program types in 6 continents throughout 19 countries .

30 years ago, Westcoast Connection / 360° Student Travel began with a modest goal of using exciting, memorable travel to teach and inspire teenagers and to enhance their understanding of themselves along the way. Our philosophy of “EACH & EVERY” is the cornerstone of our programs; “EACH” focuses on respecting the individual, looking for what makes each student unique and avoiding a one size fits all approach while “EVERY” reminds us that no matter how incredible a site like Bryce Canyon or Machu Picchu might be, the experience would fall below expectations unless we created tightly knit groups where everybody is included in an enriching program. With amazing sights, activities, accommodations and restaurants, there's no doubt that Westcoast Connection will show you the "perfectly planned, perfectly paced" summer of a lifetime.
